Mrs. Carrie Nelson
Mrs. Nelson is proud to lead our Pre-Kindergarten through 12th Grade community in an authentically Catholic, classical education. Guided by the conviction that God calls us all to be saints, she works daily to cultivate an environment where students--from their earliest years of discovery to their graduation milestones--can grow in their personal relationship with Jesus and unlock their potential to be lifelong learners, seeking the truth, goodness, and beauty that can be found all around them. Mrs. Nelson earned her masters in Education, Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Phoenix and her bachelors in Elementary Education with a distinction in English at Dominican University. She holds certifications in ESL from National Louis University and Theological, Ministry, and Spiritual Formation from the Archdiocese of Chicago. In addition to her leadership role, she teaches language arts to the fifth and sixth grade class. Outside of OLSHA she enjoys taking cooking classes and planning road trips with her family.
