Meet the Teacher

Ms. Johanna Smith has been working at Our Lady of Grace fall of 2014 and she is very excited a new year! She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in education and history from Chapman University. She obtained her multiple subject credential and Masters in Education at Loyola Marymount’s School of Education.

Ms. Smith believes in supporting students’ individual needs and challenging them to do their best work every day. She will challenge her students to meet their potential in all subject matters, with a strong focus on math and reading. Her goal is to educate all of her students in order to foster active and thoughtful community participants.

She feels especially honored to be working with our second grade students as they prepare for two important Sacraments: Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. It is an important year not only in their education, but in their journey as young Catholics. Ms. Smith looks forward to helping her students grow in their faith and their relationships with God.

In her free time, Ms. Smith enjoys reading, bowling, and visiting her favorite mouse, Mickey, at his home in Anaheim.
