My name is Mary Holroyd. I graduated from Washington State University and earned my Catechetical Certification from the Archdiocese of Seattle. I am a proud mom of three St. Frances Cabrini graduates and have been affiliated with the school since 1994. I came back in 2008 to join the staff and teach PreK thru 8th Grade Physical Education. This has truly been a dream job and a blessing to be part of such a faith-filled community.
