Ms. Maria Peters

This is my 7th year at McAuliffe Middle School teaching my favorite subject, MATH. After 30 years in the field of education as both a teacher and supervisor, I could not imagine a more rewarding career. My love for learning and teaching is compounded by the inspiration I receive from my students.

I am a mother of three amazing children, each with their own unique gifts and challenges. They teach me to be compassionate, empathetic, and caring every day. We enjoy many adventures as a family, including our 13-year-old labrador retriever, Max. 

My family moved to the United States when I was 7 years old.  We lived in Portugal, then France, and finally moved to the United States.  English was my third language.  We have many family members in Portugal & visit them as often as possible.

In November 2019, I accomplished one of my bucket list items by running the NYC Marathon with the Autism Speaks team.  Our family is blessed with a 18-year-old boy with autism.  While he does not communicate verbally, he demonstrates perseverance and allows us to be his voice.
