Leslie Conyers

+ Position:  Principal
+ Education: Central Michigan University
+ Here since: 2006

My name is Leslie Conyers, and I am the Principal at St. Mary’s School. This is my 16th year at St. Mary’s. Prior to becoming principal 5 years ago, I taught various grade combinations ranging from 3rd grade to 8th grade. 

I grew up in Buchanan. There, I attended public school and went on to pursue a degree from Central Michigan University (Fire Up Chips!) in Elementary Education with a minor in Geography and Science.

After graduation, I returned home where I began substitute teaching and later full-time teaching at a local elementary school. It was during this time I learned of an opening at St. Mary’s School. At the time, I was not Catholic so I took a chance and called the Principal to inquire about the position. Once hired, I fell in love with the Faith and became Catholic during the Easter season of 2008.
