Stephanie Herdrich is excited to be teaching First Grade once again at Holy Family Academy. She and her husband, Ryan, are parishioners of Holy Family and have five children, four of whom attend HFA. After having graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2007, she began teaching First Grade at Holy Family Academy. A couple of years later, she and her husband Ryan discovered they were expecting their first child, so Stephanie left Holy Family Academy to teach Pre-Kindergarten at The Primrose School of Eden Prairie where she could bring along her son. After almost eight years and three children later, she began teaching First Grade at Eagle Ridge Academy. During her six years at Eagle Ridge Academy, she completed her Masters of Classics degree there while teaching, before feeling called back to Holy Family Academy last year. She is overjoyed to be teaching at such a beautiful, dedicated, Catholic school and especially joyful and blessed to be able to bring her children every day.
When Stephanie is not teaching, she enjoys spending time with her family, baking, and organizing. The Herdrich family loves to visit the Minnesota Zoo, go bowling, and spend time at the beach. Another favorite is visiting grandparents in Stone Lake, WI where they go boating, swimming, kayaking, and pheasant hunting. Gluten free baked goods are a staple at the Herdrich house, especially chocolate chip banana bread! Stephanie very much looks forward to a wonderful second year at Holy Family Academy.
