About Me
Hi! My name is Ms. Katie Hurst and I am thrilled to be your teacher! It's going to be a fun year full of lots of learning and new adventures. I can't wait to see what the year has in store for us. I want to know all about you, but first, I'm going to tell you a few things about me.
I was born in Burlingame, CA and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am the oldest of two. I have a younger brother named Bobby who is a senior in college at Southeast Missouri. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona with two Bachelors degrees in Education (Elementary and Special Education). My first year as a special education teacher, I taught in San Mateo, CA in a classroom for children with mild to moderate disabilities. I then moved to San Diego and got a job in the Alpine Union School District as a Resource Specialist at Boulder Oaks and then a SDC: Moderate to Severe teacher at Shadow Hills Elementary School.
This is my second year as the third through fifth grade SDC: Mild to Moderate teacher. In addition, I am attending San Diego State University to obtain my Master's degree in Autism. I also work through the San Diego County Office of Education coaching teachers who are working towards their Autism Authorization.
I am very excited to be your teacher and for you to be apart of my classroom. This is going to be a great school year!!!
