Full Profile

I was born in Aurora Illinois in the 1940’s near the end of the Second World War. My father immigrated from Italy in the 1920’s. My mother was born in Missouri, but moved to Aurora when she was four. I am the third of a family of five, having two older sisters and a younger brother and sister. We all went to a Catholic grade school and Catholic high schools. I joined the Daughters of Charity in 1961 and after my college degree was sent to Los Angeles to teach. I have taught in Southern California, but also taught in Price Utah and here at SVdP in the 1970’s. I became principal in 1983 and have been in administration in two schools in Los Angeles and now here at SVdP.

I like to read, embroider, walk and work in the garden.

Mrs. Lomas-Garcia

Full Profile

A born and raised Texan, I moved to Arizona in 2018 with my husband and two kids, Noah and Sarah, and our three dogs. I graduated from the University of Texas- Pan American with a Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Business Administration. Shortly after graduating, I earned my teaching certificate in Elementary Education with a Bilingual certification. I have taught grades 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and was then promoted to an Academic Counselor/Testing coordinator and a few years later became an Assistant Principal. Prior to moving to Arizona, my husband and I were actively involved in our parish serving in mass regularly and leading youth programs.

After moving to Arizona, I enrolled at Northern Arizona University where I earned my masters degree in Educational Leadership-Principal K-12. As I begin my 19th year in education, I am excited to continue transforming lives at St. Vincent de Paul where I believe every child deserves the best education while developing a solid catholic foundation.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, or watching movies.
