A little about me… 
I was born and raised in Gainesville, Texas and graduated from St. Mary Catholic School just as my father had.  I have wonderful memories of my time at SMS and was blessed to have my three daughters also graduate from St. Mary.  I went on to graduate from Gainesville High School, attend NCTC, and then graduate from Texas A&M University in 1989. 
I married Jeff Gerken in 1991 and we have three daughters; Sarah, Hannah, and Mary. Sarah is married to Cody Welch. She is an elementary teacher and Cody is a fireman and they live in Little Elm. They welcomed their first child, Josiah, around August 20, 2019.   Hannah is a graduate of Texas A&M University and currently in graduate school at A&M. Mary is an undergraduate student at A&M. 

Teaching at St. Mary School is an honor and also a calling from God.  What a blessing it is to have the opportunity for prayer throughout the day, to live my Catholic faith daily, and to work with supportive families and teach respectful students.
