Welcome! My name is Olivia Maynard and I am so excited to join the SWS family this year! I teach 7th and 8th Science, as well as 7-1 Religion. I am a graduate of Binghamton University, and a proud alumna of Long Island Catholic schools, having attended St. Martin of Tours in Amityville and St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School. My Catholic education provided immeasurable opportunities, and molded me into a compassionate friend, a confident leader, and a committed Catholic.

I am honored to now join in this continuing tradition of spirited, well-rounded education through my own students. I believe that a Catholic education is a gift that students will carry with them throughout their lives. I know this is true for me. I am also a lifelong musician, and while at Binghamton University I directed the choir at the Newman House Catholic Association. I have a passion for music and bringing it to others through ministry. At my home parish, I have served as a lector and singer, and I am forever grateful for the positive impacts the Catholic faith community has had on my life. I am excited to share my faith with my students this year, supporting them in their journeys as Catholics and as individuals. I am looking forward to whatever this year will hold for us at SWS!
