Day School Directors

Tori Armstrong
My name is Tori Armstrong. I am originally from Waco, but I’ve lived in Beaumont for about 20 years. I live here with my husband, Brian, our 2 boys William (12) and Zachary (10), and our two dogs Millie & Ruby. (I LOVE dogs!) Both of my boys attended St. Andrew’s and now attend Marshall. This is my ninth year at St. Andrew’s and my sixth year as the 3’s teacher. I was in the baby class with Mrs. Dana for my first 3 years. I enjoy relaxing, eating, and watching my boys play soccer, golf, baseball, and fishing.

Patricia Behnken
My name is Patricia Behnken. I have lived in Beaumont all of my life. I have three kids; two of my kids attend Lamar University and are majoring in Psychology. My oldest is about to bless me with my newest grandchild to be born in April. I am an animal lover and have four dogs and one cat. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, relaxing, watching sports, and horseback riding.
