I can not say enough about the quality of the teachers at Saint Columbkille. Every teacher has or is working toward a Masters in Education at Boston College. They are passionate about teaching and committed to the students they lovingly teach. When we survey our parents about what they like most about Saint Cols, it is always the teachers. I am proud to work alongside them.
