“Saint Agnes is blessed to have a faculty of life-long learners committed to educating and developing the whole child. Our staff is not only a professional learning community but a family.

Faculty and Staff

Saint Agnes Catholic School is a professional learning community comprised of veteran and new teachers who emphasize educating the whole child. Teachers are committed to ensuring students become young men and women of faith. The outstanding faculty instills confidence, academic preparation, and high expectations in their students.

All faculty members are accredited by the Commonwealth of Virginia or the Virginia Catholic Education Association, and 70% of teachers hold post-graduate degrees. The diverse faculty speaks 7 languages and includes dedicated music, art, Spanish, and computer teachers.

Teaching teams meet weekly to share strategies and best practices, many of which are gleaned from professional development opportunities funded by the Parent-Teacher Organization. The Saint Agnes community is committed to retaining and attracting teachers with strong academic and professional credentials who believe in the vocation of teaching in a Catholic school.
