Hello! My name is Mary Sacha, and I am so excited to join the ASA family as a new K-2 teacher! I have been around the school for a couple years during the summer and holiday breaks helping out in the childcare rooms and the Eagles/Saints club. I was also blessed with the ability to step in as a substitute teacher at the end of the 2022-2023 school year. My involvement with ASA extends even farther back as I attended All Saints Academy when they first opened their doors in 2008. I graduated from ASA in 2015 proceeding four of my five older siblings who also graduated from ASA (Fr. David, Thomas, Andrew and Elizabeth Sacha). I then followed all my siblings to West Catholic High School, where I graduated in 2019.
My love for education started at a young age when I would volunteer at St. Alphonsus for the vacation bible school. My mother, Donna Sacha, also worked at ASA as a toddler teacher for the last ten years, and I would be in her room helping her decorate, clean or just help with the kids. She recently passed away due to lung cancer, but I have continued to pursue the passion we both shared in education. After high school I attended Central Michigan University to pursue an education degree.
During my summers in college, I did a variety of activities involving my Catholic faith and the youth. In 2020 I was a Totus Tuus missionary for the diocese of Marquette. In 2021 I was apart of the program staff at Catholic Youth Summer Camp in Centerburg, Ohio. In 2022 I worked at All Saints Academy for the whole summer, helping out where it was needed. In 2023 I returned to the diocese of Marquette as a team lead for another summer of Totus Tuus. I just recently graduated in December 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Education with a focus in Integrated science and a minor in music.
In my spare time, I enjoy running, rock climbing, playing guitar, traveling to a new city or just spending time with my family.
I am very excited to be returning to All Saints Academy as a teacher where I can integrate the Catholic faith into every lesson. ASA has had such a crucial role in my formation as a life long learner and also as a faithful Catholic, and I am excited for the opportunity to be able to continue this legacy.
