Mrs. Rebecca Amstutz is excited to begin her third year of teaching at St. Francis de Sales! Beginning her 34th year in the classroom, she brings a wealth of experience and an unwavering devotion to her students. Having joined the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston six years ago after leaving public education, Mrs. Amstutz feels blessed to be able to bring Christ to the forefront of her work, facilitating the mastery of required academic content while also helping her children build the men and women that they will be. Now an empty-nester since her son graduated from college two years ago, Mrs. Amstutz loves spending her spare time with her husband of 39 years, Steve, and her rescue dog, Phineas. Mrs. Amstutz also loves a good whodunit mystery!
