As a Xavier graduate, Sharon Palicki is thrilled to be back on campus to share her energy and passion for teaching, learning, and inspiring young people. She provides a unique perspective as a St. Peter Faber founding teacher, having experience not only in her 10 years as an educator in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, but also with her previous background in both research and team building. She has taught upper elementary and middle school and is especially driven to help students prepare for learning at the next level. With a Master's degree in Biological Sciences, she is enthusiastic about teaching science and STEM-related topics to her students. She enjoys a hands-on approach to teaching and learning from the world around us and is a lifelong learner, always researching new ways to provide learning experiences for her students. She strives to incorporate a faith-based approach to her teaching style and is looking forward to working together with the St. Peter Faber Academy staff to accomplish our goal of educating the whole child. Sharon enjoys time spent with her family, traveling to new places, and sharing her love of cooking with family and friends. She loves inspirational quotes and stories, nurturing her collection of houseplants, and listening to music.
