Catherine Carter, English Teacher
My name is Catherine Carter. I currently teach English 10 and 12 at KHS. This is my second year as a teacher and I absolutely love it. I graduated from Mt. Vernon High School in Fortville, Indiana. While a student there I traveled to England, France, Spain, and Morocco with several other students and teachers on a trip with EF Tours. After graduation I enrolled at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville and graduated in 2013 with an English teaching degree. Before beginning my career as a teacher, I spent a year at Mt. Vernon Middle School (Fortville) as a teaching assistant with the sixth and eighth grades.
When I’m not at school, I’m usually found at home reading, watching something on tv (Criminal Minds or hockey) or spending quality time with my friends, family, and beloved pet hamster-Zamboni. Before moving to Kokomo, I lived in Noblesville after graduating college. While I miss having my family very close to me, I have come to really love being part of the Kokomo community. As a thank you for not only teaching them but also visiting them at work, a few of my students will occasionally decorate my door. I absolutely love being part of the KHS family and am looking forward to a long career here.
