I am Kate Olsson! This is my third year teaching at Hackberry! I am so excited to teach first grade this year. I love to make our class feel like a family. I value the relationships I build with families, students, and community members. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember (technically since I was 7). I love every minute of what I do and I am excited to work on a team full of passionate educators! I cannot wait for all of the Ah HA! Moments this year! 

I am part of the Rêveur House! 

I live in Prosper with my husband, Derik and our yellow lab, Dillon. My husband and I are very active in our local church in Prosper where I serve as the Elementary Director! Other than teaching I love to spend my time at home with my family. We love to spend our time outside in our neighborhood or exploring the world. To date, I have been able to travel to 20 countries! I love to experience life in different cultures and to learn as much as I can.

Education: I received my B.S in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Education with ESL from TWU. I am currently working on my M.A. in School Counseling from Amberton University.
