o say All Saints Catholic School Courtney Johnson with her fiancé, Brian Lee — (ASCS) is a big part of Courtney the couple met here at ASCS. Johnson’s life would be an understatement. It’s where she attended school until eighth grade and where she was first inspired to become a teacher. And she works as a firstgrade teacher now! “I have so many amazing memories from going here, and it is so surreal to be teaching alongside the people who inspired me to become a teacher,” Ms. Johnson says. Ms. Johnson just wrapped up her third year of teaching. She has a bachelor’s degree in elementary and special education from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Principal Paul Galuska, along with several current teachers, taught Ms. Johnson during her years as an ASCS student. Ms. Johnson enjoys seeing the children of students she knew at ASCS go through school now. “ASCS is special for so many reasons,” Ms. Johnson says. “It is not only special to me because it is where I spent a big part of my childhood, but it is where I grew the most in my faith.” Ms. Johnson loves that all students can learn the faith alongside other subjects.
