Welcome! My name is Jessica Keenan and I teach second grade at Holy Family School.
Since I was young, I always knew it was my passion to become a teacher. I began my journey in the spring of 2010 when I graduated from SUNY New Paltz with a Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Education 1-6. Shortly after, I pursued my Master’s Degree at Touro College where I graduated with a degree in Education and Special Education 1-6. I continued my education by completing an extension in Early Childhood Education and Special Education Birth-6.
In the fall of 2010, I began my career working at Holy Family School as a kindergarten teacher’s assistant. In 2011 and 2012, I worked as a special education teacher’s aide in both first and second grade inclusion classrooms in the Island Trees School District. In 2013, I happily returned to Holy Family School as a full-time classroom teacher. Currently, I teach second grade. Teaching at Holy Family School is truly an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
I am happily married to my husband, Michael. We have two beautiful children, Parker and Olivia, who are the light of our lives. Outside of the classroom, a few of my favorite things to do are going to the beach, crafting, shopping, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.
