Betty Mantsch is the new academic support teacher for K-5 students. Mantsch has just begun her first year of teaching at Prince of Peace Academy, but has 12 years of previous teaching experience in the Clinton Catholic school system at North Catholic Grade School and Mater Dei High School.  Mantsch also has served as director of religious education for Prince of Peace Parish. She has a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in theology. Her current duties will include teaming with teachers to provide educational support and enrichment for K-5 students.

Richard Bell is the new second-grade teacher. Bell joins Prince of Peace after teaching fifth grade for three years at St. Andrew Catholic School in Rock Falls, Ill.
