Welcome to the Sixth Grade Home Page!

My name is Helen Klute, and I am honored to be joining the St. Anthony of Padua School community as the middle school English Language Arts teacher. I grew up in a large Catholic family in Granada Hills, California, am the youngest of nine children, and was raised by a mom who instilled in us a love of learning. My first teaching role began when I was in Kindergarten, when I rushed home to teach all of my younger neighborhood friends what I had learned each day.
I attended Mount Saint Mary’s University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English literature and business administration followed by my master’s degree in education. I currently hold four California teaching credentials and have taught and tutored students in a wide variety of grades, from preschool to high school, most recently at another local Catholic elementary school.
With over 20 years of experience in education and my love for teaching reading and writing, I am well prepared to support your child’s academic growth and development. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, baking, hiking, and traveling to see family in the Pacific Northwest.
