What's not to love? I GET to work with exceptional students, excellent faculty and staff, and superb parents every single day!

I am married to Jonathan (Coach Tate) and we have two children, McKayla (18) and Owen (15). McKayla is a recent graduate of Champion High School and off to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas (Hook em’ Horns!). Owen is a sophomore at Champion

High school involved in Cross Country and Basketball. We also have two rescue dogs, LuLu (terrier mix) and Tanner(golden retriever).

I love to spend quality time with my family and friends, I’m a certified bookworm, a budget friendly Fixer Upper, and I workout, or leisurely run (slowly…lets change that to jog).

English and Physics

Ooh? How can I name just one? Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, Children’s picture books - especially by Robert Munsch, historical fiction, mysteries...

Anything I don’t have to cook? My husband is a fantastic cook. Growing up for my birthday my Step-Dad would make a special dinner: escargot and caesar salad with rhubarb pie for dessert. Yum!

Go Champion Chargers! Go Boerne Bears (my son’s basketball team)! Go Golden State Warriors!

I grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
