Teacher Appreciation Week: Alumna Angela Bagatta

Though it’s belated for Teacher Appreciation Week, we wanted to highlight Angela Bagatta, an Abbey alumna from the class of 2023. She’s currently inspiring young minds as a second-grade teacher at Jackson Day School in Charlotte, NC.

1. What do you love about teaching?

My favorite part about teaching is the loving relationships I have formed with my students and the amazing memories we have made!

2. How did the Education department at BAC help you develop as a teacher?

The Belmont Abbey Education department gifted me a rich understanding of educational theory, strategies, and life-like experiences through student teaching! My Abbey professors are still only a call away, and willing to assist with anything I ever need!

3. What is your advice to Abbey students pursuing an Education degree?

If you feel the call toward teaching, answer it! I get to live my dream every single day! It was the best choice I’ve ever made 🙂

Thanks for all that you do, Angela! We’re honored to be your alma mater.
