Biography 

Hello! My name is Miss Lamothe and I am the second grade teacher at Holy Trinity Catholic School. This is my third year teaching and I am excited to be a part of this amazing school. I graduated from York College in 2017 with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Elementary Education. 

When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family and friends. I also work for a non-profit organization on the weekends. You can contact me at hlamothe@htcsyork.org and I will usually respond back the same day. 

I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you do, especially during these uncertain times. You more than ever are your child's primary educator, and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Please make sure to keep our school families in your prayers. Stay safe and be healthy!
