Our Library Staff

• Valerie Jopeck

  Librarian, ES

  I am a #risk taking librarian with twelve years of teaching experience, entering my third year at Belvedere! I have a B.A. from American University and two Master’s degrees - one from George Mason University and my library sciences degree from the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!).

  I am the super proud momma to three sons, including twins going into 12th grade. Let the college admissions fretting begin! In my “spare time” I enjoy hosting dinner parties, reading (of course), and doing puzzles. This year, I am trying out a new hobby - painting.

  Of all the places I’ve worked, Belvedere suits me the best. We have teachers and staff who care about our students and one another. It’s great to be in a school that truly values inquiry and diversity.
