Carolyn Conlon

Armed with the skills to think critically and speak clearly, Carolyn Conlon landed a job as a lead fifth grade teacher at Great Hearts Western Hills in San Antonio, Texas, before she even stepped off Franciscan’s campus with her degrees. Through the discussion-based learning style in many of her English courses, Carolyn learned to think at a higher level and express herself in a clear manner. “My professors at Franciscan not only helped me develop a love for learning, but also a deep passion for teaching because I learned to view my students as individuals who have value and dignity. I see teaching as my mission to share truth, goodness, and beauty and be a light of Christ.”
