Staff Profile

Welcome to first grade at Capitol Hill!  

My name is Elizabeth Brzinski and I go by Beth.   I grew up in Maplewood, and earned my undergraduate degree in education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!).  I earned my master's degree from Saint Mary's University in Winona, MN.  Prior to coming to Capitol Hill in 2008, I taught for 15 years at Cherokee Heights Elementary on the West Side.  I am now starting my 17th year at Capitol Hill.  It is amazing to think I have now taught more years at Capitol Hill than I had at Cherokee Heights. 

I come from a family of educators, many of whom taught in St. Paul.  I am very honored to be a third generation teacher, second generation St. Paul teacher, and be able to spend this year with all of you. 

My husband's name is Darren, and I have two adult step-children and two grandsons.  We also have three felines living in our home; Gracie, GusGus, and Izzy.  I love spending time with our grandsons, motorcycling (passenger :), kayaking, traveling, cats, coffee, dark chocolate, and planting in the spring.  

I look forward to having a spectacular year together.   I am committed to doing my best to make this year as thoughtful, engaging, and joyful as possible!  

In partnership...
