My name is Stefanie McGrath and I have been teaching at the American School for 16 years. I am a mother of two girls who attend ASFG. My hobbies include learning about environmental sustainability, gardening, reading, technology, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends.
I was born and raised in southern California where I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UCLA. I moved to Pachuca, Hidalgo 21 years ago where I taught 2nd grade and met my husband. While at ASFG, I have earned two masters, one in International Education, and one in Educational Leadership. I have my teaching license in nursery through 3rd grade from Massachusetts.
I am passionate about working with small children and am excited to continue learning along side each child, parent, and professional. I look forward to sharing this year with you.
