Welcome to LEAP (Learn-Explore-Achieve-Program)!

 

My name is Kathy Seter and I am so blessed to be the LEAP Coordinator/teacher. This is my 19th year at Sacred Heart Academy. I received my undergraduate degree at California State University, Fullerton and completed my post-graduate education at the University of California, Riverside. In addition, I received my Certification in the Education of the Gifted and Talented from UCR in December 2014. Prior to SHA, I was employed by the Redlands Unified School District as the 4th-5th grade Intervention teacher at Lugonia Elementary School and as a substitute teacher throughout the district grades K-12, including Special Education and RISE (Redlands Independent Study Education) program. I am also a member of the California Association for the Gifted (CAG), "an organization of educators and parents who strive to improve education for individuals who demonstrate giftedness."

 

I was blessed to attend Catholic schools (St. Margaret Mary, Chino and Pomona Catholic Girls High School) and strongly believe in the value of a faith-filled education. My husband, Jim, was also educated in a Catholic high school (Servite in Anaheim). I have been a proud Catholic school parent since 1996. My son, Jimmy, is an SHA, Aquinas High School, Marquette University graduate. He currently serves as a curriculum director/teacher mentor at a Boston middle school. My daughter, Elizabeth, is an SHA, Aquinas High School, Grand Canyon University, Cal Baptist graduate. She is working as an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist.

 

I am an active member of The Holy Name of Jesus community and enjoy various activities: sporting events, reading, concerts, movies, travel, and time with family and friends.

 

Under the direction of our former principal, Mrs. Williams, LEAP was launched in the Fall of 2012. LEAP is a hands-on, enrichment math program for grades 3-7. This program has been recognized by the Diocese by receiving the Innovation Award and we continue to enhance a learning environment for our students to be challenged.
