Kristine Haley, a native of Peoria, Illinois, earned her degree in Marketing from Eastern Illinois University. After dedicating herself to raising her children, Mrs. Haley found her passion for education as a substitute teacher and paraprofessional, serving for many years at both St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School and within Peoria Public Schools District 150.
Mrs. Haley is inspired by the example of Mother Teresa, her favorite saint, and finds solace and strength in the Hail Mary, her favorite prayer. Her classroom reflects her commitment to fostering a family atmosphere, where students feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow academically and spiritually.
Mrs. Haley’s faith is deeply rooted in the strong foundation laid by her parents, whose example of devotion and love continues to guide her life and work.
