    About Me
    I am an educational technician at Pemetic Elementary School working with middle school. I grew up in New Jersey but spent part of my summers vacationing all over Maine. I went to the University of New England in Biddeford, where I majored in marine biology and minored in education. I moved to Mount Desert Island in 2015, and I am so excited to be part of the Pemetic team!
    In my free time, I like to go whale watching, volunteer at Allied Whale (College of the Atlantic’s marine mammal research organization), run, and spend time with friends!

    I’m the bookkeeper and office manager here at Pemetic.  I joined the Pemetic Family in August 2011.  I handle accounts payable and receivable as well as the lunch accounts along with many other tasks.   I enjoy helping staff, students and parents.  If I can’t help you, I will find someone who can.  I’m also the yearbook advisor for Pemetic so if you see me wandering with my camera, smile!!

    I love to spend time with my husband, my kids and my granddogs, Rocky and Teufel.  Photography and scrapbooking are my hobbies along with spending time in my garden.  Summer is my favorite time of year with camping and boating!

    About Me

    I’ve been at Pemetic since 2017. I am a graduate of the University of Maine in Orono with a BA in History and Secondary Education. I work in Middle School Special Education doing in-class support, pull-outs with groups and one-on-one, and a little bit of everything else. I also help with the school newsletter and website.

    When I’m not at school, you’ll find me playing drums and singing at church, doing photography, graphic design, watching all Boston sports, doing nerdy things like building computers or playing video games, and hanging out with my family. You might also find me on the sideline of a Pemetic sports event snapping pictures. If you want pictures of your child, please email me! I’d be thrilled to send them to you.

  • Susan Peterson
    Ed Tech
    About Me

    I love helping people and feel so fortunate to be able to be a part of the team at Pemetic.  I have been working supporting children in education for over ten years, and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Education, Elementary Education and Special Education.

    I grew up visiting my relatives in the summer on Seawall road, and moved here to live year-round the first chance I could in 1997 after graduating from college.  I also grew up having a difficult time learning how to read and write and found out later in college that I have Dyslexia.  Being a person that grew up having challenges in school helps me have a deeper understanding of what some of the students that I serve are going through and that is one of the reasons why I find my work so satisfying.

    I feel blessed to live with my family in Southwest Harbor.  When I am not at school, I enjoy getting outside in Acadia National Park.
