Paula Ryan loves teaching fourth and fifth grades so much that she has been doing so here at Holy Spirit School for 36 years. Presently she is teaching 5th grade Religion. Her bachelor’s degree is from Aquinas College with majors in Religion and English, and her master’s degree is from Western Michigan University in Educational Leadership. For the past 36 years she has been a very active member of the Holy Spirit Parish Community. Mrs. Ryan and her husband Tim work on the Haiti Committee and have participated in medical missions in Seguin, Haiti. Since they want the best faith-filled education for their children, they chose Holy Spirit School for their daughters. Kelly recently graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and is working in the Grand Rapids area. Colleen graduated from Michigan State University and is working in Austin, Texas. When Mrs. Ryan is not teaching, she enjoys being up north at her cabin on the Chippewa River. She lived in Italy and loves everything Italian … the food, art, churches, faith, and the beautiful language. You might even hear her speaking Italian in the school hallways. Ciao!
