Mary Davenport is returning to East Lake for the 2025-26 school year as our Learning Specialist. Mary graduated from Saint Mary’s College, in Notre Dame, IN, in 2010 with dual degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education. She then joined the East Lake team as Kindergarten teacher, where she spent her first 5 years of her career. In 2015, alongside John and Rosario, she created the position of Learning Specialist. Mary was passionate about this role for 3 additional years. Throughout her 8 years at East Lake, Mary met, and married her husband, Mike, and had their son Logan (8 yrs), and their daughter Paige (7 yrs). Mary decided to stay home with Logan and Paige in 2018 when Paige was born. They also welcomed a third son, Matthew, in the Fall of 2020. While being a stay-at-home mom, Mary obtained her Teacher Leadership Endorsement from National Louis University, and kept her teaching skills sharp working with her children and helping out at their school weekly. She is very excited to rejoin the East Lake team!
