Suzanne Berube

Mrs. Berube earned a BA and MAT in French from the University of New Hampshire. She spent her Junior Year abroad studying and attending the University of Dijon, France, where she became fluent in French and developed a lifelong interest in wine after completing a harvest for the Maison Drouin in Beaune, France. Mrs. Berube migrated from the East Coast to Berkeley in the 70’s.

Ms. Berube comes to St. John the Baptist Catholic School via Sonoma. After a successful career in the Silicon Valley where she implemented and managed human resource information systems, she relocated to Sonoma from San Francisco “to get warm in the summer”. She returned to Dominican University in San Rafael to earn her K-8 teaching credential and has been teaching 4th grade at St. John the Baptist for the last 5 years.

She began the tradition of the 4^th grade Gold Rush field trip to Coloma Outdoor Discovery School and established the school’s organic garden. She is a member of the Curriculum Committee, coaches Academic Decathlon and teaches CCD at St. Francis Solano Church in Sonoma. Aside from teaching and California history, her other passions include opera and birding.
