Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.

Meet Ms. Schwall!

Hi there! My name is MaryBeth Schwall and I have been teaching Middle School Language Arts at St. Norbert since the fall of 2017. This year I have the added pleasure of serving as the assistant principal here at SNS.

I have a BA from Illinois State University in English Education with an endorsement in Middle Level Education. I am currently working towards my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University. I live in Chicago so outside of school, I love reading, baking, and exploring the city!
