Mrs. Jill Royer

How long have you worked at MCS?

This is my 2nd year.

A little about Jill’s background

I taught high school ELA for a lot of years before becoming an administrator, and while I sometimes miss my own classroom, I love being in other teachers’ classrooms. I learn something new everyday, whether it’s in a 1st grade classroom or an 8th grade one!

Certifications

I received my B.A. in English from the University of Rhode Island, my RI Teacher Certification in Secondary (Grades 6 – 12) ELA from Rhode Island College, and my Master’s from Providence College in School Leadership.

What brings you joy outside of school?

Reading books during the summer by the pool. Singing at the top of my lungs in the car (…or at morning drop-off!) Going to Disney with my husband and my son!

What do you love most about working at Monsignor Clarke?

I get hugs everyday. I think everyone needs a job where they get hugs daily.

Favorite subject/activity to teach or be part of?

English, of course. But I also love to cover in Mr. Chadwick’s P.E. class occasionally!

Favorite quote, scripture, or life motto

“It is not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do that is the secret of happiness.” –J.M. Barrie

One thing people might not know about me

Before I became a teacher, I lived in California and learned how to surf and snowboard in the same week.
