Say hello to Mrs. Ellen Staargaard! Mrs. Staargaard was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated from the Ohio State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education. Prior to joining the POP family in 2020, Mrs. Staargaard taught 4K and kindergarten at St. Philip and St. Augustine Catholic Academy. Mrs. Staargaard grew up attending Catholic schools and loves having the opportunity to share her Catholic beliefs with students. This year marks Mrs. Staargaard's seventh year in Texas; one thing she does not miss is scraping snow off her car in the winter!
Mr. and Mrs. Staargaard met at Ohio State University and love cheering on their Buckeyes in the fall. Excitingly, after ten years of dating and three years of postponed wedding dates due to COVID-19, Mrs. Staargaard married her husband at her high school chapel in August, 2021. In their free time, the Staargaards enjoy traveling and working out together.
