Ms. Mary Novak is a proud graduate of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary School and West Catholic (go Falcons!) in the Diocese of Grand Rapids and even remembers playing volleyball in the IHM gymnasium when she was in middle school! She earned her Bachelors of Science in Mathematics from Grand Valley State University, with a concentration in Secondary Math and a minor in Psychology.

When not teaching math, she enjoys listening to music, dancing, reading, and learning trivia to share with her class. You can often hear her sharing jokes and riddles with her classes, especially math-based puns.
