Bright Smiles, Well-Rounded Backgrounds & Passion

 

Angela Meyer

Angela Meyer

Principal

Mrs. Meyer has been working at St. Peter Claver Preschool since it opened in 2008.  Since then, she has become the most beloved Kindergarten teacher that we have all come to know and love.  Her yellow car can be seen driving around town and she is like a movie star to her students!  She always has endless energy, an ear to listen, and a smile on her face.  The school, the students, and the parents are always her first priority.  This is why it was such a natural progression for her to accept the Principal position in December 2017.  Since then, she has been holding down the fort as not only the Principal, but has also kept her title as Most Awesome Kindergarten Teacher Ever.  Just ask her students...
