Welcome back Ms. Laresa Fitzgerald for the 2024-2025 school year! After fourteen years in Minnesota and California, Ms. Fitz and her children Aynsley and Landon, both students at John Paul II High School, made the move to North Texas during summer, 2022. Ms. Fitz began her time at POP teaching seventh grade pre-algrebra and is excited to begin her second year teaching eighth grade math at POP.
Ms. Fitz is a product of Catholic education and enjoys having the opportunity to teach in the same environment. Ms. Fitz's father was in the Air Force, so she traveled nationwide growing up, but Texas is home. She graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Psychology and a secondary teaching certification in social sciences as well as a middle school math endorsement. Ms. Fitz's favorite part of teaching is watching students gain confidence and seeing their confidence and understanding of the subject set in. Everyone is good at math, and Ms. Fitz is here to help students discover their capabilities.
