Anna Lenshek

Mrs. Lenshek earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts/Great Books from Thomas Aquinas College (Santa Paula, CA), a B.Ed. from Brock University (St. Catharines, Ontario), and an M.A. in Philosophy at the Catholic University of America (Washington, DC).

Mrs. Lenshek has more than a decade and a half of experience as a classical educator, including as teacher and department head of English and Latin at Hawthorn School for Girls in Toronto, and as a teaching fellow in the School of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America. She has been teaching Latin, Music, and Philosophy at Chesterton Academy - Queen of Martyrs since it opened in the fall of 2024. 

Mrs. Lenshek is grateful for the chance to share with students the ancient wisdom of Greece and Rome, and the riches of our Catholic tradition. She especially enjoys the way our Latin and music classes build on each other in Chesterton's integrated curriculum, and the way singing shapes the daily life of our school.

Ben Pike

Mr. Pike is the new full-time math teacher. He holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, which he earned in 2017.

In college, he served as a math tutor and worked in a role similar to a teaching assistant. After exploring sales opportunities after college, Mr. Pike began substitute teaching in his hometown, Waunakee School District, two years ago. He also started a math tutoring business, and these led to teaching math part-time at St. Ambrose last year.

Mr. Pike is excited to see the growth of the students in mathematics, which has been a national area of concern over the last decade. He hopes to show the logic and order of the universe as God designed it.

Aidan Luzarraga

Aidan is a recent graduate of Wyoming Catholic College, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts through a rigorous Great Books program rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition. His academic formation included Socratic seminars, classical texts, and outdoor leadership through the college’s Experiential Leadership Program, which involved planning and guiding wilderness expeditions designed to build resilience, communication, and teamwork.

Aidan brings a deep love for classical Catholic education, having experienced it firsthand in both high school and college. Through his involvement with the Totus Tuus program, he has taught Theology to students in grades 1–12, led youth groups, and given talks and one-on-one mentorship rooted in the Catholic faith.

In the classroom, Aidan is passionate about forming the whole person, mind, body, and soul, by creating a structured and dynamic environment where students encounter truth, goodness, and beauty. This year, he will be teaching History, Theology, Rhetoric, PE/Dance, Literature, and Drama at Chesterton Academy – Queen of Martyrs.

Aidan is also our Cross Country Coach, drawing on his own athletic experience and leadership skills to help students grow in discipline, perseverance, and camaraderie. We are thrilled to welcome him to the team and look forward to all the gifts he brings to our school community.

Lynn Puhr

Mrs. Puhr holds a Master of Science in Organizational Behavior from Benedictine University (Lisle, Illinois) and a Liberal Arts degree from DePaul University’s School for New Learning (Chicago, Illinois).

She recently retired from GE HealthCare, where she served as the Global Learning Director for Medical Device Regulatory Compliance. Prior to her work at GE HealthCare, Mrs. Puhr held numerous leadership roles in corporate Learning and Development, specializing in leadership development, technical training, and compliance education. Her experience includes positions with Sears, Roebuck and Co., Forsythe Consulting, and Durham College in Oshawa, Ontario.

Although her professional background is rooted in business and organizational learning, Mrs. Puhr has always nurtured a deep love for the Arts—drawing, painting, and exploring art and artistic traditions around the world. A formative high school art teacher recognized a gift she herself had not yet discovered, inspiring her to grow in confidence and ultimately earn the Senior Art Award upon graduation.

This experience shaped her lifelong desire to help young people discover their God‑given talents. At Chesterton Academy’s Queen of Martyrs, Mrs. Puhr hopes to guide students in uncovering and developing the artistic gifts placed within them, encouraging each one to grow as both an artist and a child of God.

Claire Clemens

Mrs. Clemens is excited to join Chesterton Academy – Queen of Martyrs as the science teacher. She holds Chemistry degrees from Gustavus Adolphus College (St. Peter, MN - B.A.) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Madison, WI - M.S.). 

Since earning her degrees, Mrs. Clemens has worked as a toxicologist at the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene, become certified as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), and gotten to be a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom to her two children. Her recent experience as a substitute teacher in a local 3K-8 Catholic school got her interested in pursuing teaching as the next step in her career.

Mrs. Clemens believes science is not merely a collection of facts to memorize, but an invitation to wonder—to ask good questions, to observe carefully, and to delight in discovering the patterns woven throughout the natural world. In the classroom, she strives to cultivate curiosity through thoughtful discussion, hands-on experiments, and the rich tradition of classical education, helping students see that faith and reason illuminate one another. She hopes her students leave her class with a greater appreciation for the Creator and a lifelong sense of wonder about His creation.

Francesca Redington

Francesca is a joyful Catholic devoted to forming students in both the knowledge of Ancient History and New Testament Theology.  One of the first graduates of Chesterton Academy of Milwaukee, she is shaped by the classical, Catholic approach to education. She recently earned her Bachelor of Science in Communications Media from John Paul the Great Catholic University, where she studied the power of narrative, culture, and tradition in the life of the Church. She is determined to impress upon students the will to continually wonder at God and His creation. Being the product of a lifetime of catholic education, Francesca is eager to continue to form generations to come.

While her background is primarily in art and social sciences, she built up knowledge of history and theology in her journey to pursue insight on creation through God. From case studies on lives of saints to extensive history books to long fantasy novels, Francesca is constantly reading. She is always marveling at the world, picking up new knowledge, and trying to grow in Christ.

Francesca learned and taught Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori-based approach to religious formation that nurtures a child’s relationship with God through Scripture, liturgy, and hands-on learning. This work has deeply influenced her approach to older students, it is grounded in reverence, wonder, and the understanding that every student is capable of a genuine relationship with Christ.

She has a concurrent position working with the Wisconsin Historical Society as a docent at Old World Wisconsin, expounding on history to anyone who will listen. This exercises her ability to keep history interesting and understandable and to focus on details while keeping in mind the bigger picture.

This all feeds Francesca’s passion for exploring history and the world through a catholic lens. Often visiting new places and researching the history of buildings, art, significant events, and notable people to see God’s hands working though all of it

Kristin Dvorsky

Mrs. Dvorsky serves as the Executive Director at Chesterton Academy – Queen of Martyrs, where she combines her passion for Catholic education, her experience in ministry, and her background in business to support the school’s growth and mission.

Before joining Chesterton Academy, Mrs. Dvorsky worked as a youth minister and later as a kindergarten teacher at an independent classical Catholic school. That experience first introduced her to the beauty and depth of classical education. It was there that she fell in love with the integration of faith, reason, and virtue that defines the Chesterton model.

In addition to her work in education and ministry, Mrs. Dvorsky is a Certified FertilityCare Practitioner and has owned and operated her own business for over a decade. Her entrepreneurial background has equipped her with the administrative, organizational, and leadership skills she brings to her role as Executive Director.

Mrs. Dvorsky finds the most joy when she is physically present in the school building, witnessing firsthand the engaged, joyful atmosphere that sets Chesterton Academy apart.
