Ann Lynch was one of Veritas School’s founding board members and the elementary curriculum coordinator from its beginning days.  Ann knew from her junior high years that she wanted to be a teacher, and was thankful to teach at Veritas from its founding in 1997 until 2023. She is currently a teacher mentor and coach. Ann holds a BA in elementary and early childhood education. She enjoys spending time with family, cooking, gardening, traveling, and reading a wide range of literature.
