Founders' Thoughts

"We must go on leaving ourselves totally in the hands of the good God for everything."

"Education is for us a privileged means of forming in faith. Through education we

Featured Faculty & Staff Member

Claire Davis

Claire Davis will be starting her 14th school year at Chaminade Julienne this fall. She began working as a full-time administrative assistant in the Welcome Center and has since moved to the office of ministry and service, where she now serves part-time. Additionally, Claire helps out on Saturdays with the SAT and ACT testing, and says she thoroughly enjoys working in a school setting.

Claire and her husband Jim have been married for 36 years and are both avid followers of the Eagles football and basketball teams as well as UD Flyers basketball. They are the proud parents of five children, all of whom graduated from CJ (James '95, Amanda '97, Emily '98, Kip '01, and Hannah '03), and the proud grandparents of six (with two more grandchildren on the way).

In her spare time, Claire enjoys camping, reading and creating new flower gardens on the 3-acre property where she and her husband recently moved to. She looks forward to spending time with members of her extended family on their 27th Labor Day weekend camping trip this fall.
