Hello, and welcome to Saint Rose Catholic School where I have worked as a teacher and administrator for the past twenty-seven years.  I believe that all students have the right to be educated in a safe and secure environment where they are exposed to stimulating content that is optimal for growth in maturity, academics, and physical, social, and spiritual attributes which will allow them to be a well-rounded individual that is able to be a successful and contributing member of society.  I feel that students should be provided access to reaching their fullest potential via individual and collaborative activities where an educator acts as a guide and facilitator while providing access to information while not being the sole source of content.  Much of my philosophy of education has been guided by my former educators in school who really reached out to the students and shared their love of education with them.  My educational passion is in History and Social Studies and getting to know each student on an individual basis.

Hi there! I am Audrey Roza, and I am the Vice Principal and 6th Grade English Language Arts, Literature, & Math teacher here at Saint Rose Catholic School.  As far back as I can remember, teaching has been my passion and what I have always wanted to do; and I am now enjoying my 13th year in education.  I believe that children are our future, and as educators, it is our job to provide the necessary tools to strengthen their skills and create an educational path towards success, while having fun and making learning an adventure.  Throughout my career, I have been lucky enough to teach in both the general and special education settings, allowing me to meet the individual needs of all learners.  With this background, I am also able to support the students and staff here on campus as the Student Support Team {SST} Coordinator.  I believe that parents are the primary educators, and I look forward to walking beside you in your child's preschool through eighth grade journey!

Hello and Welcome to Saint Rose Catholic School!  I am the bookkeeper and HR among other duties, and it is a great pleasure working at a school where I can share my faith as a Catholic parishioner for 35 years.  I love children and learn from them when they express their Love for God, this to me is priceless! I admire the parents for their continued sacrifice and commitment to help our school. God Bless Saint Rose Catholic School!

I am proud to say that I am beginning my 26th year at Saint Rose School.  I began as a parent in 1989 and never left.  Watching the children grow and learn each day is a blessing.  Each student is unique and amazing in their own special way.  My days are filled with hugs, laughter, love, and the most amazing smiles!

Hello! My name is Sarah Munoz, and I am the Third Grade Teacher here at Saint Rose Catholic School. This is my very first year teaching, but not my first time at Saint Rose. I was blessed enough to attend this school as a student throughout my elementary and middle school years.  The impact it left on my life led me to pursue education, and God presented the opportunity for me to return as a teacher. I began my studies locally at Cuesta College, and transferred to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona to complete my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I hope to continue the work of inspiring students to live in faith and do their best, as I was shown to do by my teachers while I was a student here.  It is my goal to provide students with opportunities to grow in their faith and knowledge every day. My greatest joy is being able to see a student overcome a challenge or observe how far they have come. It is my priority to form genuine connections with every student and their family so that we can uplift each student to the best version of themselves. Faith and care for this community are what drive me to make that a reality whenever possible, and I hope to imbue students with those same passions in their hearts.

Hello!  My name is Denise Choboter, and I teach Second Grade at Saint Rose.  I love being a part of this supportive and faith-filled community!  I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, where I received my degree in English and French literature.  Afterward, I got my degree in Elementary Education and taught for a year before I moved to Oregon, and then to California. In 2022, I was proud to become an American citizen.

Having been the product of a Catholic school education myself, I feel blessed to be a part of a learning environment where we can deepen our relationship with Jesus and our knowledge of the faith. Partnering with the home is essential to well-rounded, happy, and faith-filled students, especially as we celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist this year! I enjoy fostering a positive and welcoming classroom environment where my students can experience joy in learning so they can be successful in school and beyond. 

Hello!  My name is Julie Glunz.  I am the 4th Grade teacher at Saint Rose School.  I am proud and blessed to be a part of the same school that my four sons attend.  I am a transplant from Illinois, which is where I first began teaching at the same Catholic school that I attended as a child.  I have my Masters in Education and have taught for 14 years in both the parochial and public school setting.  I am beyond excited to return to my roots of Catholic education.  I love incorporating my faith into teaching and belonging to a community of students, parents, and staff that share similar values, morals and appreciation of the Catholic faith.  As an educator, my goal is to design lessons that are relevant to my students and provide an opportunity for students of all learning styles to experience success, curiosity, and a life-long love of learning.  I look forward to engaging and supporting your child on this journey. 

Hello, I am Shannon Uribe the campus minister, leadership director, and middle school religion teacher here at Saint Rose School.
