Idaho Arts Charter School
Marie McGrath - Academic Director
Hello! My name is Marie McGrath, and I am the Academic Director at IACS. I grew up in eastern Washington and went to college at NNC. I am married to Lance, who is a librarian at NNU, and have two wonderful children-Danner, who is a 4th grader, and Garrison, who is a 1st grader. Some of my hobbies are paper crafts, crocheting, writing, and working in my yard. I collect antique jewelry and vintage clothing. My family and I especially like to spend outdoor time in the woods.
Professionally speaking, I was a teacher for 11 years before becoming an administrator. I have my master's degree in reading education and endorsements in special education and administration. I have presented work on critical literacy and emergent literacy at professional conferences as well as the university setting. I have also taught staff development courses on special education, cooperative learning, and literature circles.
I started this journey with IACS as a founder and parent. In the age of high-stakes testing, I wanted to ensure that my own children received a well rounded education that helped them continue to be lifelong learners with an appreciation for and knowledge of the humanities. I am excited and honored to be at Idaho Arts Charter School.
