Lower Price Hill Community School

Proudly Serving the Community Since 1971.

Jen Walters, Esq., B.S.W., J.D.

Executive Director

Jen first came to the school as an AmeriCorps member for the 2002-2003 school year and never imagined at the time that one year commitment would turn into her life's work. But she is thrilled that it has. She left the school in 2004 to continue her education at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, but found that no other career path was as meaningful as the work of the school. When the school does not have her running in a million directions-her two children do!

Kathy Weiler, M. Ed., AmeriCorps

Twelve years ago, Kathy Weiler worked at LPHCS as one of the College teachers. She loved the school and the community, so she returned recently to work with the GED program. She enjoys supporting students in reaching their goals, and she is grateful for all that she learns and receives from the students.

Katharine Pinto, SC, M. Ed.

The Sisters of Charity have had a long history of ministry and presence in Lower Price Hill. Katharine Pinto is a Sister of Charity whose background is in Education. Her visits to Mexico, Peru, and Guatemala stimulated her interest in working with immigrants to help them learn English and feel welcome here in the United States. She began her position as an ESOL teacher and finds it is a great way for her to merge her background in Education with her interest in immigrants.
