Katerina Savvas began working at St. C’s in 2017 after both her children attended and she fell in love with the school. A native of Athens, Greece, she moved to the United States for college where she earned a BS in Environmental Science and an MS in Hydrology.  At first, she thought her calling was to save the planet, so she worked for a few years in the environmental field but then she found her true life calling teaching science at St. Columba’s.  She loves working with children because they are hilarious and never stop being curious.  She finds their brutal honesty grounding and their free spirit and enthusiasm for life invigorating.  Seeing the world through their eyes is refreshing and uplifting.  Children have taught her to be patient and flexible and that no day can be bad if you remember to laugh and have fun.  Her favorite things about St. Cs are the outdoor spaces, play based focus and awesome teachers!  It’s a magical place!  Her favorite children’s book is “Ada Twist, Scientist” by Andrea Beaty.
