Fifth Grade
Mrs. Miller
Mrs. Miller is a 5th grade teacher at Resurrection. She started her career as a pediatric dental hygienist before making the transition to education. She taught 3rd grade here for five years before exploring a different career path. She missed her Roadrunner family, though, and felt God calling her to return. She joined our staff again in 2026 as a 5th grade teacher!
She is known for creating a warm, engaging classroom where students are supported and challenged to grow.
"I have always enjoyed working with children and loved my years working with children in the St. Vincent Mobile Dental Clinic," Mrs. Miller said. "This shaped my desire to become a teacher and work in the classroom environment."
"My favorite part of teaching in a Catholic school is witnessing the holy moments of students," she said. "I love observing the students help, support, and encourage one another. I love the kindness I see."
Outside of school, Mrs. Miller can be found reading, jogging, baking, or cheering on her children at their hobbies.
She is married to her husband, Nick, and they have three children - Max, Cooper, and Allie.
Mrs. Humm
Mrs. Humm teaches 5th grade Math, Science, and Religion at Resurrection. In 2024, she began her second year at Resurrection, but her 20th year as a teacher and her 8th year in the Diocese of Evansville. Prior to coming here, she taught high ability math at St. John the Baptist School.
"I have always enjoyed working with kids and helping them understand new things," Mrs. Humm said. "Math, science, and religion all connect directly to the real world, and helping kids find those connections is so rewarding."
Mrs. Humm has enjoyed starting the Math Olympiad club for 4th-6th graders and being part of the House Aquinas and House Council.
"I also love attending Mass together as a school," Mrs. Humm added. "There is certainly something very special about more than 300 students singing together and praising God."
Mrs. Shumate
Mrs. Shumate teaches 5th grade English & Language Arts as well as Social Studies at Resurrection. She began her first year of teaching in 2024 after serving as a long-term substitute in our 5th grade classroom the previous year!
Fun Fact: Mrs. Shumate moved to New York City right after college, where she worked for an Off-Broadway theater company in Midtown Manhattan!
"I loved it, but I knew I didn't want to raise a family in a big city, so I moved back home to Evansville, where I met my husband, Blake," Mrs. Shumate said.
They have been married 15 years and have four children: Anna, Jake, Matthew, and Joseph. When she and Blake started having kids, Mrs. Shumate decided to quit her job in sales to stay home with them. It was during this time that she went back to school to earn her teaching degree.
"I am so glad I did because I feel like I found my calling!" Mrs. Shumate said. "I am so grateful to finally be in the classroom and am so happy to be at Resurrection! Resurrection is very close to my heart. My grandma was once the custodian here, and my mom went to school here. I went to Resurrection as well, as do my kids. I am a proud Roadrunner!"
Mrs. Shumate loves beginning the day by asking students, "How can I pray for you today?" Students raise their hands, and the class prays for whatever is on their minds.
Outside of school, Mrs. Shumate and her family enjoy spending time at Barkley Lake where they camp, boat, fish, canoe, and relax by the campfire. She also loves to read, and always has a good book with her!
