MRS. KATHY FEHDER
Principal / Head of School; Upper School Religion
“This is my ninth year at Corpus Christi, and I can honestly say that there has not been one day that I haven’t LOVED being here. This is a truly Catholic community, in every sense of the word, where we pray, ponder, study, and learn together as we grow closer to Christ through our virtues program, sacramental life, service and almsgiving, focusing on the infinite love God has for each of us as we seek to imitate the saints. I am not exaggerating when I say that every day spent in this school is for me heaven on earth!”
Mr. David Baughman
Vice Principal; Upper School Math, Science, Classical Studies; 7th/8th Grade Religion
“I love teaching at Corpus Christi because it is a faith-filled community in which we share the love of God and the desire to know His Truth. I am able to share my faith with our children and in so doing deepen my own faith. Our school truly strengthens all of us to be better witnesses of God’s Truth. We are one united family in Christ.”
Mrs. Ann Horn
Dean of Support Services;
Art & Montessori Teacher
“I love feeling the vibrance of the Holy Spirit radiating from the students. No matter how I feel when I walk through those doors, I am greeted with smiles and kindness. What a wonderful way to start the day! Morning chapel reminds me that praying together truly unites us as one big family!”
Dr. Luiz Astorga
Dean of Classical and Latin Studies; Latin Teacher 5th/6th Grades and Upper School Latin
“It is a joy to teach at Corpus Christi and to contribute not only to it’s goal of academic excellence, but to the spiritual and moral formation that gives excellence a deeper and transcendent meaning. True classical education must be both learned and lived, and any student here is certain to experience both.”
Mr. Michael Hardt
Upper School & 5th Grade Math,
Upper School Literature/Composition,
and 5th/6th Grade American Studies
“Corpus Christi sets high goals, encourages our students to reach for them, and lovingly urges them to move on with resilience when they fail. I’m honored to be teaching here because this is one of the rare schools that really aims – through its loving, classical approach to education – to help each student become all that God intends him or her to be.“
Mrs. Theresa Alexander
5th/6th Grade Literature/Poetry, Grammar/Composition, Science, Religion
“I love working at Corpus Christi, not only because I see the joyful Catholic atmosphere, but because I love how that influences me and all the faculty/staff. The difference in student relationships compared to those I have seen in public schools and even other Catholic groups attests to the fact that this school is indeed Christ-centered. Every day I am reminded that truth, goodness, and beauty are what lead our students to Christ!”
Mrs. Joyce Cassin
6th-8th Grade

“I am so appreciative for the opportunity to teach where the commitment to God and education of children is such a blessing.
