Now in her seventh year of Catholic education, we're thrilled to have Mrs. Debbie Essary return for the 2024-2025 school year! Mrs. Essary is a longtime North Texan, having resided in Plano since before POP was founded. Mrs. Essary received her B.A. in Early Childhood Education from the University of North Texas yet is a Texas Tech Red Raider at heart!
Mrs. Essary first joined the POP family in 1995 as a founding director and teacher in the CLC, a capacity in which she served through 1998. After several years teaching second and third grade in the public school system, Mrs. Essary rejoined POP as a second grade teacher in 2022.
In her free time, Mrs. Essary enjoys spending time with her three adult children and their families, including her two grandchildren.
Words of encouragement to younger and/or newly enrolled POP students and families? Do your best and you will continue to grow. What seems hard now will only be a blip in time. Every little thing will be alright!
Pick one: first or last day of school? Last; I like looking back on my students' growth and look forward to the break.
