Leslie Addicks

Leslie Addicks first came to St. Francis in the fall of 1994. Being a native of the east coast, she was immediately struck by the change in weather, persistent humidity and mild winters. It didn’t take long to settle into the St. Francis family, teaching 3-4 science, middle school mathematics, and algebra. Mrs. Addicks served on a variety of committees addressing professional development, curriculum and values, as well as, participating in our International School to School Exchange Program traveling to Mexico and Australia. 

Mrs. Addicks has taught in a variety of day and boarding schools, teaching mathematics from 2nd through 11^th grades. Her teaching career began at Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn Heights, and continued at Rumsey Hall School (Washington, CT), Berkshire Country Day School (Lenox, MA), Indian Mountain School (Lakeville, CT), where she chaired the math department. Prior to returning to St. Francis this fall, Mrs. Addicks served as the 7^th Grade Dean and Math Department Chair at Hathaway Brown School in Shaker Heights, Ohio. About 5 years ago, Mrs. Addicks and her husband returned to New England to be near family. Mrs. Addicks continued teaching while following her passion for quilting. Most recently, she was the Assistant Director of the Huntington Learning Center in Springfield, MA. However, she missed the classroom and welcomed the opportunity to return to Goshen, KY.

“St. Francis has become the benchmark by which I compare other schools. It has that magical combination of providing a genuine education in a progressive and exciting environment that respects the individual as well as the community.”
