Peyton Courtney, 3rd Grade Teacher | School of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen

Third grade teacher Peyton Courtney has been teaching at The School of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen for three years. For Ms. Courtney, as her students affectionately call her, teaching was a natural fit. Coming from a family of educators, she began her career right after her graduation from St. Mary’s College. 

What drew you to education?
My mom is a teacher, so I grew up thinking that I wanted to be a teacher. The moment I knew I wanted to be a teacher was when I was volunteering at Camp St. Vincent, a camp for homeless children in Baltimore City. We worked with the kids on math and reading during the day, and that is when I knew I wanted to go into education. It is such a rewarding experience to help students learn and grow.

What do you like about your current school?
My favorite thing about Cathedral is the people. From my first day, I have always felt welcomed by the community. The parents, students, and faculty are all supportive of one another. It is amazing to be able to wake up each morning and be excited to go to work. I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful community.

What do you hope to achieve in your role?
As a teacher, I hope to foster a love of learning in the students. I want my classroom to be a place where all students feel welcomed and valued.
