Cathedral Catholic High School’s community welcomes new teacher, Mary Fisher, to the new school year with many welcomes and lots of joy.  

Born and raised in San Diego, Mrs. Fisher spent her childhood with the passion of teaching.  Throughout her years of youth, her passion for teaching only grew stronger with time.  As a child, Mrs. Fisher always loved to teach anyone and anywhere.

“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, ever since I was a child,” Mrs. Fisher said. “It is truly a dream come true to be doing what I love.”

At the young age of nineteen, Mrs. Fisher started to teach exercise classes.  Then throughout the years she also was an after school advisor/teacher at the community service club L.O.O.K., and was a language program volunteer teacher.  Mrs. Fisher attended Cal Poly San Louis Obispo, earning her degree in American Sign Language.  After earning her degree, she started subbing for multiple teachers, and she took multiple jobs at different schools.

What brought Mrs. Fisher into Cathedral was her fondness for religion and teaching under God.  

“I subbed at about five or more schools before Cathedral, and by far this school was the standout for me,” Mrs. Fisher said. “I knew it was the place I wanted to be.”

She also subbed for teacher Kathy Garcia, emphasizing her desire to teach at Cathedral even more.

ASL student Kylie Edwards praised Mrs. Fisher.

“I love Mrs. Fisher,” Edwards said. “She is so nice, and so motivating because of her welcoming energy.”

Some of Mrs. Fisher’s hobbies include surfing, camping, biking, and yoga.

“I just like to be active and doing things,” Mrs. Fisher said.

When it comes to sports Mrs. Fisher isn’t your sports enthusiast or super competitive, but is someone who loves to stay updated.  She played on varsity tennis throughout her years at La Costa Canyon High School.

Since becoming a don Mrs. Fisher is most looking forward to becoming more involved with the community from doing service projects and outreach programs to moderating the ASL club.
