All about Mrs. Johnson

My name is Stacee Johnson. I am the Fifth grade teacher at St. Rose. I have lived in Lima for 32 years. I am married and have 3 children.

I earned my teaching degree from Wright State University in 2001. Since that time, I have been substitute teaching in various schools in Allen county. I have enjoyed the flexibility of subbing since I have young children. However, this job opportunity was brought to my attention and it felt right to go for it!

I have always enjoyed working with children, whether it is in or out of the classroom. At a young age, I was inspired by my grandparents to work with children. They were foster parents for over 30 years and touched the lives of over 100 children. Seeing this process allowed me to learn that all children basically want the same thing: to be loved and accepted.

I have several teaching philosophies that guide my work. First, we need to teach our children to be tolerant of the differences around us. Next, I work to encourage every student to strive to do their best. I follow the encouragement with praise and support. Last, I honestly believe that every child can learn. If you keep in mind that every child learns differently and has different strengths, then you can help every child become successful.

I am so thankful and blessed to have the opportunity to work with the children and staff at St. Rose Catholic School!
