Mrs. Schnell graduated with honors and distinction from The Pennsylvania State University in 1989.  She was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and was named the Outstanding Graduate in Political Science. 

Mrs. Schnell worked in hotel management for several years before establishing a career as an insurance defense paralegal.  In 2002, she joined the support staff of Prince of Peace Christian School. 

Whether she was coaching athletic teams, teaching Sunday School, conducting preschool choirs, or managing Destination ImagiNation teams, Mrs. Schnell always felt drawn to teaching.  While at Prince of Peace, she soon found her interest had matured into a calling.  In 2004, she entered Texas A&M University-Commerce to obtain her post-graduate teacher certification.

Mrs. Schnell’s philosophy of teaching can be summed up by a Chinese Proverb, “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”

Mrs. Schnell and her husband are the proud parents of a daughter, Cori.  Cori has been a student at Prince of Peace since the age of three.  The Schnells are active members of Christ United Methodist Church in Plano.
