Hello!
My name is Nina Minneci and I am the middle school social studies teacher for grades 5-8. In addition to social studies, I will also be teaching 5th grade reading and 8th grade religion. I am excited to begin my fourth year teaching and my first year teaching at Divine Providence School.

In 2014, I graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelors of Science in Education. From 2014-2015, I worked as a substitute teacher in Erie, PA, in public schools and diocese of Erie. In 2015, I accepted my first full-time teaching position at Our Lady of Peace School and taught various middle level subjects, including math, social studies, religion, and vocabulary. 

Before attending college in Pennsylvania, I lived in Naperville, IL. So, I am glad to be back in the area closer to family and my beloved Cubbies and Blackhawks. 

If you have any questions or concerns throughout the school year, feel free to send me an email at nminneci@divineprovidenceschool.org.
