Saint James School is pleased to welcome Mrs. Carally McKeever-DeLeon in the role of General Music Teacher for the Saint James Middle School program.
Mrs. McKeever-DeLeon comes to us with a wealth of experience as an orchestra director, choral leader, and general music teacher at both the High School and Middle School level. She has a Master’s Degree in Music Education and is certified through the State of Connecticut to teach all levels of students. In addition to her experience teaching within a school setting, Mrs. McKeever-DeLeon teaches private lessons in both piano and violin, performs professionally around the region, and is involved with local children’s theater groups.
We are excited for Mrs. McKeever-DeLeon to begin working with our middle school students starting February 9th.
Please note, we continue to seek a highly-qualified general music teacher for our elementary school grades and are exceptionally grateful to the homeroom teachers for stepping in to fill this role in the interim.
