Welcome Father Sean & Pio
Southtowns Catholic School is excited to announce the news of our new pastor! We welcome back to Lake View Fr. Sean DiMaria & his golden retriever, Pio. Father Sean is a graduate of OLPH School (now Southtowns Catholic School). Father Sean comes to us from the Southern Tier where he was Pastor at 5 parishes and Immaculate Conception School. In the short time he has been here, the students have already gotten to know Father Sean & Pio as they walk the halls & visit the classrooms. We also want to congratulate Father Michael LaMarca on being promoted to Pastor at St. Michael's in Warsaw, NY. He was the Parochial Vicar at Saint John Paul II Parish and took over as Temporary Administer until we found a new pastor. Father Peter Karalus was the Pastor at Saint John Paul II and he was named as the new Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia for the Diocese of Buffalo. We wish Father Mike & Father Peter all the best in their new positions and we hope they come back to visit often! They will be missed.
Meet the Teacher
Meet Miss McDowell
She's definitely not your usual teacher!
Do what you love, love what you do. Teaching is something I genuinely love and care about. I attended Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts and Canisius College where I earned my degree in Elementary Education. I graduated my undergrad in 3 years and started teaching right away! I also minored in Dance, and concentrated in Math and Social Studies. I then furthered my graduate studies at Canisius College in Literacy Education.
I began teaching in the Catholic schools in South Buffalo, and then in Orchard Park. I have taught both elementary as a first grade teacher and Junior High where I focused mostly on 5th and 6th grade math. Teaching 1st grade was absolutely my favorite, however I still enjoy teaching math in the upper grades as it allows me to be silly and keep math exciting.
I am so happy to be here at Southtowns Catholic and have the opportunity to help students at all grade levels! The AIS program serves a great purpose here as it gives many students the opportunity for one on one or small group instruction, or extra help and practice on skills. It also offers a chance for any student to ask individual questions for clarification, and build confidence!
Besides teaching in schools, I also was a dance teacher for many years! I was a dance competition judge for many competitions. I even was a fitness instructor at a local gym where I lead a dance fitness class. It is so important to me to stay active and do what I love.
Outside of school I am a sports fan and that is an understatement! I LOVE the Boston Red Sox and continue to follow them. I also spend every Sunday at home watching every football game that's on. Pregame and postgame too! If I'm not watching sports on TV, I am at a sporting event.
That's me! Teaching, Red Sox, watching football, attending my son's sports games, or attending a sports game, what else is there? Almost forgot...pizza!

STREAM Career Exploration
As a STREAM school, SCS endeavors to provide relevant learning experiences for our students. Through our Career Exploration, parents are invited to speak to students about their careers, exposing students to the real world applications of their learning.
Your experiences inspire student achievement. Career Exploration links students' interests and potential career paths. A handy student may realize she would make a great engineer; a creative student may see his future in advertising. You can help show our students the bigger picture.
All volunteer hours will count towards your Marian Fund!
Please complete the form below if you or someone you know is interested in participating in Career Exploration
