Background & Interests:  Mrs. Novak attended Holy Trinity as a child in the 1990s when it was a small school nestled in the heart of farmland. Over the years, she witnessed the school transform into a thriving community. After taking a break from teaching high school English to care for her two children, Mrs. Novak reentered the classroom in 2019 as a long-term substitute at Holy Trinity. The experience reignited her passion for teaching.

Mrs. Novak's two children transferred to Holy Trinity, with one joining in 3rd grade and the other in Kindergarten, and she continued to substitute for three more years. In 2023, she was honored with the opportunity to teach Junior High English, marking a new chapter in her journey at the school. Her children are proud to be parishioners and active members of the Avon Catholic Community.

Julie enjoys fostering a love for literature and language in her students while sharing her own experiences with them. She is also involved in various clubs and events at the school, including Power of the Pen, the Spelling Bee, Confirmation, the Damascus Retreat, and Graduation.
