As a faculty member at SFP Christine filled many facets of the school as the Franciscan Youth Coordinator and Yearbook Adviser. She was brought to teaching after receiving her BA in Theology & Religious Studies from The Catholic University of America. She has also received a Masters of Arts degree in Historical Theology from St. John’s University and is awaiting completion of her MS in School Building Leadership from St. John’s University this fall. Her studies began at St. Mary’s in East Islip as a child and were enriched by her high school years at St. John the Baptist. Christine’s leadership is grounded in her faith and driven by her dedication to enriching the lives of her students. She is passionate about her Franciscan values, missionary work, and family unity.
Quote from Principal Glynn: It is such an honor to be able to serve a community that I have admired for many years. I strongly believe that an educational leader is best defined by his or her ability to remain moral, transformative, focused, and sensible. I intend on upholding these principles as the servant leader of St. Patrick School. This will be a year of renewal for all members of the community as we grow stronger and return back to our traditions lost during the pandemic. We are committed to our call: "My hope is based on your Word"(Psalm 119).
Forever in our hearts, Pearl Heinlein.
