Dr. Missy Parkison returns to Kenny as a religion teacher this year.
Parkison recently took a sabbatical to Europe, living in six different countries over the course of six months. She came back to campus to work as a substitute teacher after her travels.
“I just knew I wanted to get back in that space,” Parkison said.
Parkison is teaching Religion 4, serving as a spiritual accompaniment for students and helping with faculty catechetical development in Campus Ministry. Parkison also helps with the RISE retreat for seniors’ spiritual development.
