When deciding where to continue teaching after eight years at St. Francis, Benet Academy was an easy choice for Señora Haas. Not only had Señora attended Benet Academy as a student, but she also continued her education at the nearby Benedictine University. Señora explained, “I believe wholeheartedly in Catholic education.”

One of Señora Haas’ favorite parts of Benet is its strong sense of tradition and family. To her, it feels like home. Señora also values the collegiate environment that allows students to grow and succeed.

In her twenty-one years of teaching Spanish here at Benet, Señora has especially appreciated teaching through literature. She teaches both Spanish 2 and Spanish 3, but considers Spanish 3 literature to be her favorite.

Outside of the classroom, Señora Haas enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She strives to stay active by participating in activities such as walking, yoga, pilates, and working out. Señora also loves to travel. She uses the experience she has gained as a Benet teacher in new places. One of her favorite trips was going with Benet to build houses in Guatemala.

After more than two decades at Benet, Señora Haas continues to be an important part of the community. Her journey from Benet student to faculty member demonstrates the impact of the school’s tradition and community.
