Mrs. Rita Casagrande

Eighth Grade Homeroom Teacher | Jr. High Language Arts

Mrs. Casagrande began here at PBVM Catholic School as the Eighth Grade homeroom teacher in 2002. She is also the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Grade Language Arts teacher. She received a Bachelors Degree in E ducation in 1990; she has been teaching fifth - through eighth grades since then and really enjoys it. She loves and has a full appreciation for her Catholic faith, likes gardening and cooking in her spare time, loves her Giants (yes, before they were the World Champions) and enjoys going to baseball games.

Mrs. Casagrande believes that a full command of language is a powerful tool for success. She and our PBVM junior high team prepare our students well to continue to be academically successful in their future high school programs.
