  • Teacher Information

     

    Where are you from? 
    Welcome! My name is Kara Doherty and this is my
    first year teaching at Holy Family School. I
    went to school and grew up in Hicksville, but now live in Bellmore. I am so excited for our year
    together and can’t wait for all of the learning and fun we will have in 1st Grade.

    What is your education?
    I graduated from CUNY Queens College with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and shortly after
    graduating, I pursued my Masters Degree at Touro College where I graduated with a degree in
    Childhood Education/Teaching Students with Disabilities Grades 1-6. Currently, I am in the
    process of getting my extension in Early Childhood Education B-2. While going through school
    to get my Masters Degree, I was a Kindergarten Teaching Assistant for 2 years in Island Park.
    After completing my Masters Degree, I became a Permanent Substitute teacher in East Meadow
    where I taught in General Education classes, Co-Teach classes, self-contained classrooms and
    utilized my Applied Behavior Analysis skills daily. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending
    quality time with my family and friends. I also enjoy teaching dance lessons which I have been
    doing for 10 years at the dance studio I grew up in.

    What can students look forward to when they join your class?
    I am overjoyed to join Holy Family’s school community as an educator and share my creative,
    nurturing, and energetic talents to help guide your children to each of their individual success!
    This year we will be learning many exciting different things. While striving for academic
    success- it is most important to remain anchored in faith together as a class. I believe that we
    are all lifelong learners socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically. My goal is to teach
    my students to cherish learning as much as I do! Providing students with a safe and welcoming
    environment where they can be as comfortable as possible. Never give up, you are capable of
    amazing things!

    Favorite Saint?
    Saint Teresa of Calcutta

    Message to Parents
    I am so excited to watch your children learn and grow in my classroom. We will be learning
    many exciting new things this year in First Grade. I believe that your children will build great
    relationships with one another and myself. It is my number one goal to provide a safe haven
    for your children and have them cherish learning together. Thank you for choosing Holy
    Family School. This is going to be a wonderful year!
