Hi Welcome!
It’s a joy to connect with you! My name is Mena Dunn, and I’m the director of St.Benedict homeschool co-op, a ministry of Holy Ghost Catholic Church. My husband, Michael, and I are blessed with two wonderful children, Brendan and Julianna. Our family’s journey to the Catholic faith has been a transformative one. We converted from Southern Baptist in 2014, a decision that led us, unexpectedly, to the rich world of homeschooling. Looking back, it’s clear that both embracing the Catholic faith and choosing homeschooling were divinely guided steps that have profoundly shaped our lives.

Before becoming a stay-at-home mother, I worked as an Orthodontic Treatment Coordinator. This experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of nurturing children’s self-esteem and confidence. It’s a value that strongly informs our approach to education.

Our Catholic classical homeschool co-op has experienced remarkable growth over the past seven years, a testament to the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit. We’ve created a vibrant community of families who share a common desire to provide their children with a faith-based, academically rigorous education. We’re incredibly grateful for this blessing and are eager to welcome new families who share our vision.

We believe in fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where children thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.

I’m excited about the possibility of your family joining our community and would be delighted to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience to discuss how we can best support your homeschooling journey.

With heartfelt blessings,

Mena Dunn
Knoxville Catholic School House
