Welcoming New Faculty for the 2026–2027 School Year

Dear Holy Family Families,

As we look ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, I am pleased to share several faculty additions for the coming year. We are grateful for the strong educators joining and continuing within our community. Each brings meaningful experience along with a shared commitment to our Catholic mission and the formation of our students.

First Grade – Jasmine Ghavami
Jasmine comes to us from Stillwater, where she has taught first and second grade for the past five years. Her experience in early elementary education, particularly in building strong foundations in reading and writing, will serve our students well. She approaches her vocation with a clear sense of care for the whole child, helping students grow in both confidence and virtue.

Second Grade – Amber Pequito
Amber will serve as our second-grade teacher and will be looping up with her current class. She has been a valued member of the Holy Family community for five years, serving as both a Montessori guide and first-grade co-teacher. A graduate of Ave Maria University, Amber is Montessori certified. She brings a deep understanding of our school’s mission and a consistent commitment to forming students academically and spiritually.

Third Grade – Hanna Massell
Hanna is a graduate of Wyoming Catholic College and has taught at Saints Peter and Paul as well as Great Hearts schools, with experience in both second and third grades. Her background in classical education, love of latin and commitment to Catholic education will be a gift to the lower school team.

 
Middle School Math – Jennifer Brayton
Jennifer joins us with 11 years of experience teaching middle and high school math at Regent Preparatory School. She is a graduate of Texas Tech University and holds certification in mathematics and elementary education (grades 1–8). Her approach to mathematics emphasizes clarity, order, and perseverance—skills that support students not only academically but in their broader formation. Jennifer is excited to be in a school that aligns with her faith.

 
Middle School Latin & 7th Grade Homeroom – Joe Turner
Joe is a graduate of the University of Dallas and holds a master’s degree in Classical Education. He has spent the past 11 years teaching at Great Hearts in Dallas. His love for the classical tradition, particularly in Latin, supports students in encountering the roots of our Catholic intellectual tradition, while also guiding them in their growth as young men and women of character.

Please join me in welcoming these faculty members and in praying for them as they prepare for the upcoming school year. We are grateful for the continued growth of our school and for the strong team of educators serving our students.
In Christ,
Summer Fuentes

Fr. Joshua Day - May 13th

May 13th will also be Fr. Joshua Day! He will visit the classrooms and deliver a special treat. Fr. Joshua will be the new chaplain at Bishop Kelley High School starting this summer. This would be a great day to send a note of thanks to Fr. Joshua.

Water Bottles

The weather is heating up! We gave away 17 water bottles just today - this amount is not uncommon on any given day. Please send students with water bottle each day - thank you! 

Substitute Teachers

We are always in need of more substitute teachers. Interested parents, grandparents, or adults please email banderson@tulsacathedral.com.
