Cicely Breay

“You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” – St. Augustine

Ms. Breay grew up in Grand Rapids (Ada) with her younger sister and brother. She was homeschooled and went on to attend Hillsdale College where she received a B.A. in English, and is currently working on a Master’s Degree in Classical Education from the University of Dallas. Before coming to Sacred Heart Academy, Ms. Breay taught 6th Grade Language Arts and 7th Grade Texas History at Valor Public Schools in South Austin, TX. Upon moving back to Grand Rapids, she served as a long-term substitute teacher at West Catholic as well as a middle school Humanities and Theology teacher at St. Stephen’s. Ms. Breay loves reading and says she could not pinpoint a favorite book, but that C.S. Lewis, Evelyn Waugh, and Jane Austen are among her favorite writers. In her free time, she spends a lot of time outside running or walking, and enjoys baking and spending time with friends and family. She also loves traveling, especially in Europe!
