Emily Denoyer

Middle School Teacher

Cincinnati has been my home throughout my life, growing up on the east side of town. I attended Indian Hill for grade school and Saint Ursula for high school before earning my BA in Early Childhood Education from Xavier University. I teach fifth-grade science, reading, and writing! Beyond the classroom, I love attending Xavier basketball games and spending time with friends and family. I am very excited for another fun year of both teaching and learning!

I have been a member of St. Jude Parish since 1983 and both of my sons attended school here. I feel extremely blessed to be a part of the St. Jude community. Currently, I teach middle school. I am excited to come to school each day and look forward to sharing my faith and enthusiasm for learning with the students. It gives me such great joy to watch the students develop academically and spiritually as the year progresses. During my free time, I love spending time with my grandsons, going to FCC soccer games, and reading. My dream is to someday travel abroad -- especially England.

I feel so blessed to be a part of the St. Jude family! For the past three years, I have worked as an Intervention Specialist with OptimALL Services at St. Jude. I will be embarking on a new position for the 2024-2025 school year as a sixth grade math and science teacher and also a fifth grade math teacher. I graduated from Mount St. Joseph University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education (1-8) and Special Education (K-12). I received my Master of Education from Xavier University. I have taught various grade levels throughout my career as a regular education teacher and have taught all content areas. I have spent many years teaching sixth and eighth grade math. I am very excited to be joining St. Jude in this new role! I enjoy reading, gardening, camping, and spending time with my family.

I love being part of the St. Jude community. This will be my 4th year as a teacher at St. Jude, and my son also attends the school. I received my Bachelor's of Education degree from the College of Mount Saint Joseph and a Master's of Education from Walden University. The 2025-2026 school year will be my 22nd year of teaching and I love working with students in 4th and 5th grade. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, curling up with a good book, and cheering on the Cincinnati Reds.

I am blessed to be a teacher and parent at St. Jude School! I have been teaching at St. Jude since 2017. The last five years I have been teaching second grade, and I am excited to move to fourth grade this year. Overall, I have 11 years of teaching experience from Junior High to Kindergarten. I graduated from Ohio University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. I also obtained a Masters of Education degree in 2013 from Xavier University. Besides teaching at St. Jude, I am also an active parishioner. My husband, Joe, and our three children, Kaelyn, Grant, and Blake, have been parishioners since 2008. In my spare time, I enjoy going to my kids sporting events, reading, running or walking, and traveling.
