With a love of books and working with children, Mrs. Hughes feels fortunate to serve as the librarian at St. Joseph’s Catholic School. She retired from teaching in 2015 after a career as a classroom teacher and reading specialist in Wayzata.

​

Mrs. Hughes and her husband had long considered Grand Rapids their second home and were thrilled to move there full-time in 2015. After connecting with staff and substitute teaching at St. Joe’s, she quickly realized how much she missed the joy and energy of working with students. She was delighted to step into the role of school librarian.

Mrs. Hughes looks forward to welcoming new students and families each year and sharing her love of reading with the entire school community.
