Ms. Sophie Pellegrino is a social studies teacher at Immaculate Heart Academy and moderator of Club Être, the Polish Club, and the Bedazzling Club. She received two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of Rhode Island — a B.A. in secondary education and a B.A. in history, with a minor in political science.

Ms. Pellegrino completed her student teaching at Cranston High School East in Cranston, Rhode Island. Before joining IHA, she worked as an instructional aide in a special education classroom and in a daycare setting.

Her role as an older sister to five younger siblings ignited her passion for education at a young age, and according to Ms. Pellegrino, “Now that I am part of the IHA community, I am looking forward to empowering young women on all levels — intellectually, spiritually, and socially.”
