Margie Betts
Art and Technology

I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Graduated from Carnegie–Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa., with a degree in Textile Chemistry and Design and then completed my graduate work at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, New York.

I was an executive Apparel buyer for stores such as Gimbels, I. Magnin, Macy’s for many years. I also worked on the wholesale side of the apparel industry as a merchandise manager and consultant. After the birth of my children I became an art director and designer for catalogs and magazines.

When my daughters entered school, it was very important for me to spend time with them in their classrooms here at Good Shepherd. In 1994 I created a formal art curriculum for GSLS and in 1999 designed a formal technology program for all elementary grades. With my background in art, textiles and graphic design, I enjoy developing, teaching and updating the Art and Technology curriculum her at GSLS.
