Ms. Clarissa Lysette Flores

3rd Grade Teacher
Has been teaching at Resurrection since: 2019
Ms. Flores began teaching at Resurrection Catholic School in August 2019. She is excited to return to the Diocese of San Jose after teaching elementary (kindergarten & 1st grade) for two years before continuing on to pursue graduate work. She is eager to share her love for learning with her students. Ms. Flores graduated from St. Mary’s University with a Bachelor of Business Administration, completed 41 credit hours towards a Master of Arts in Teaching + Teaching Credential program and received a certificate of Blended Learning from Santa Clara University, and graduated from Harvard Divinity School with a Master of Theological Studies.
Ms. Flores is passionate about Catholic school education because of the opportunity to foster lifelong learning for students on their way to sainthood. She believes in leading by Christ’s example, creating student-driven learning experiences, providing critical thinking skills, and educating the whole student in meaningful ways that last beyond the experiences in her classroom.
When she is not at school, Ms. Flores enjoys spending time with loved ones, jogging outdoors, going to the movies, and brainstorming entrepreneurial ventures. Ms. Flores is originally from Texas and looks forward to the special occasions when she gets to spend time in person with her family.
When asked “Why did you choose Resurrection Catholic School?”, Ms. Flores responded, “Since the day that a friend shared this great opportunity with me, I constantly imagined myself doing God’s work here. I knew that there was something really special about Resurrection from my experiences being on campus and talking to the school community. During the weeks that followed, family and friends commented on how I would light up when talking about this potential vocation to teach at Resurrection. I know God has called me to this school, and I feel so blessed to be teaching 3rd grade!”
