St. Viator Catholic School is proud to welcome Ms. Ledda Rosenberger to our teaching staff for the 2025–2026 school year as our new Music Teacher. Ms. Rosenberger brings a deep passion for both music and education, along with a strong academic foundation. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Music Education (major in Flute, minor in Piano) and a Master of Music in Choral Conducting, with additional doctoral coursework toward a DMA. Her academic training, paired with years of experience in both liturgical and classroom settings, has equipped her to inspire students to discover their creative voices and develop a lifelong appreciation for music.
Ledda has led school choirs, coordinated performances, and skillfully integrated faith-based music instruction into a broader academic curriculum. She is experienced in teaching a variety of instruments and vocal techniques, and she emphasizes confidence-building, collaboration, and joy in every lesson.
As part of her vision for the music program at St. Viator, Ms. Rosenberger plans to introduce instrumental instruction in strings and brass for students in grades 4–8. She will also offer a music enrichment class designed specifically for students who already have experience playing an instrument, giving them the opportunity to further develop their skills. In addition, she hopes to continue beloved programs such as Cantor Club and Handbells, fostering student leadership in liturgical music and ensemble performance.
For Ms. Rosenberger, music is more than a subject—it is a reflection of worship, culture, and community. Whether preparing students for school Masses, seasonal concerts, or classroom exploration, she is committed to nurturing well-rounded learners who recognize the beauty and meaning of music.
Outside the classroom, Ledda will assume the role of liturgical minister at St. Viator Church and will regularly share her gifts through parish events and worship. We are thrilled to have her join the St. Viator community!
St. Viator Catholic School is proud to welcome Mrs. Laura Manfredi to our teaching staff for the 2025–2026 school year as our new 6th/7th Grade English Language Arts Teacher & 6th Grade Homeroom Teacher. Laura Manfredi is thrilled to return to the classroom as the 6th and 7th Grade English Language Arts teacher and the 6th Grade Homeroom teacher at St. Viator Parish School. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Laura studied Theater Arts at Notre Dame de Namur University, where she also earned her teaching credential. It was there she met her husband, Mr. John Paul Manfredi—an SVS alumnus and current Theology teacher at Bishop Gorman High School.
Laura began her teaching career in Las Vegas, teaching 2nd grade at St. Francis de Sales before stepping away to raise her growing family. She and her husband are proud parents to three SVS students: Tony (5th grade), Maggie (3rd grade), and Frankie (Kindergarten). Laura is also the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Janet Manfredi, beloved 1A teacher at St. Viator.
In recent years, Laura served as a library assistant and most recently as Program Director at Engage Lifestyle Martial Arts in Henderson. Her background in theater, literacy, and leadership allows her to bring energy, creativity, and strong communication skills to her teaching.
Laura is passionate about literature, storytelling, and helping students grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers. She is especially excited to be teaching in the same community where her children are growing in faith and learning.
St. Viator Catholic School is proud to welcome Mr. Dennis Funtila to our teaching staff for the 2025–2026 school year as our new 5th grade teacher. Mr. Funtila is a longtime member of the Viatorian community—his family first joined nearly 13 years ago when his children were students in Mrs. Crame’s class. A retired U.S. Marine Corps Platoon Sergeant, Mr. Funtila brings a strong background in leadership, mentorship, and instruction. Throughout his military service, he gravitated toward teaching, whether training Marines in operational readiness or mentoring junior leaders. It became clear that education was his true calling.
After retiring from the Marines, Mr. Funtila earned his bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration from National University. Since then, he has taught in Catholic schools in both Colorado Springs and Las Vegas. He is deeply committed to Catholic education’s mission of forming the whole person—intellectually, spiritually, and morally—and is passionate about building community through faith and service.
Outside the classroom, Mr. Funtila is a devoted husband and father. His family loves the outdoors and spends time hiking, camping, traveling, and playing pickleball. He actively volunteers with organizations that support veterans, including Semper Fi & America’s Fund and the Catch a Lift Fund. His family also participates in parish life, especially through the teen youth group, where they remain engaged in service and fellowship.
Mr. Funtila believes in structure, mutual respect, and teaching with heart. He is committed to helping students discover their academic strengths and their God-given purpose. He is excited to grow with the St. Viator community and looks forward to a wonderful school year ahead.
