Michelle Matlock

“I always knew that I wanted a career working with children. The first time that I stepped into a classroom to teach I knew that is where God was calling me to be. I have taught at Catholic schools since 2009 and I feel so privileged to not only help students grow academically, but also spiritually.” 

Michelle Matlock loves being able to grow with the school at her parish. She has a passion for teaching reading and writing and enjoys implementing reading and writing workshop in her classroom.

She is currently working toward earning her Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from LSUS.
