Mrs. Patricia Guzman

Hello, My name is Patricia Guzman and I am the 7^th Grade teacher here at Holy Family.  My husband and I have three sons. We love to hike, walk the beautiful trails of Chester County and go to Marsh Creek State Park. Every year my sons spend the summer living in Spain with their grandparents. I love interacting and connecting with my students. I look forward to working with your child!

Educational Philosophy:

I believe that each child is in a crucial stage of their development. I am dedicated to nurturing them as they transition from child to adolescent. I strive to develop respectful relationships with them and value their contributions to the classroom community. I hope to challenge them to set long term goals.  I will challenge them to take responsibility for their interpersonal interaction with others and their personal contribution to the Holy Family School community.
