Erica Dirba

Kindergarten Teacher

Mrs. Dirba grew up in New Braunfels and comes from several generations of teachers. After graduating from NBHS, Mrs. Dirba attended Blinn College on a dance team scholarship, and later graduated from Texas A&M University (whoop!). 

 

This is Mrs. Dirba’s tenth year teaching, and her third year teaching at Cross. Of all the grades she’s taught, kindergarten is her favorite, so she’s very excited to be back in it this year! Mrs. Dirba considers it her responsibility as a kindergarten teacher to help children fall in love with school, books, and learning, in order to set them up with security and success for the rest of their educational careers.

 

Mrs. Dirba and her husband, John, have two daughters. Ellie is going into third grade, and Kenna is starting in Kinder. The Dirbas also have two dogs: Yeti, a Great Pyrenees, and Meeka, a husky. In her free time, Mrs. Dirba loves to read. Her favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28– “We know that all things work together for the good of those that love God, who are called according to His purpose.”
