Ms. Crowe obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Great Books from St. Anslem college, where she also minored in English and music (and graduated Magna Cum Laude!). Prior to following Our Lord's call to serve as high school coordinator and teacher at SRA Ms. Crowe worked with an investment firm. She greatly values family spending lots of quality time with siblings, parents, and grandparents. Ms. Crowe is excited to follow the vocation to which she is called at this season of life to be a Catholic school teacher. 

Mrs. McMeeken was born and raised in San Diego, CA. She attended the University of Redlands in Redlands, CA as a Voice major in the College of Music. During her time at university, she was able to study abroad in Salzburg, Austria, the birthplace of Mozart, and travel throughout Europe, including to the Vatican. The experience of living in a Catholic nation and visiting so many beautiful Catholic churches and religious sites contributed to her journey of conversion to the Catholic faith. After graduating college with a BA in Music, she joined the RCIA program at her local parish, and was confirmed in the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2009. Later that year, she married her husband Sean, also a musician, and they have continued in music ministry together. Mrs. McMeeken spent the next 11 years raising their 3 sons, while working and volunteering in her parish in the music ministry, youth ministry, and VBS programs. She also put in many hours of volunteer work in Mr. McMeeken's classroom. In the summer of 2021, it became clear that God was calling Mr. McMeeken to leave his 17 year career as a public high school band teacher. The family was ultimately led to come to the greater Berlin, NH area, to join the Good Shepherd and Holy Family parishes, with Mr. McMeeken as a parish organist, and Mrs. McMeeken being called to teach at SRA. The McMeeken family arrived in late November 2021, after a 3,000 mile cross-country road trip, and now lives in Gorham.

Mrs. McMeeken has found a new passion in teaching, and is continuing her education as a teacher. She is also one of the cantors for Good Shepherd and Holy Family parishes. She enjoys reading, hiking to waterfalls, gardening, and making things. She is grateful for the opportunity to teach at an authentically Catholic school, where the expression of faith is not suppressed, but an integral part of the school, and Christ is present in every classroom.

Mrs. Lamontagne holds a bachelor's in education from Assumption College in Massachusetts and a Master of Arts in Teaching with a focus on math from Providence College in Rhode Island. She has experience teaching math in upper elementary, middle school, and high school as well as tutoring and coaching experience. A native of Manchester, NH and the oldest of 6 siblings Mrs. Lamontagne was married just prior to the start of this school year and together they decided to follow the Lord's Call to live and serve in northern New Hampshire. We are excited to welcome Mrs. Lamontagne to the high school team at SRA and look forward to working with her to meet the needs of each individual student.
