My name is Mrs. Casey Hadjis and this is my tenth year at St. Joseph Catholic School. I currently teach sixth through eighth grades Reading/Literature including Latin & Greek. I earned my undergraduate degree from Marquette University and my master's degree in education from DePaul University.  I look forward to another wonderful year with my sixth, seventh, and eighth graders!
