Hello Everyone!!
My name is Kendall Pipkin. I’m so excited to begin my third year teaching at Ogle! I graduated in May of 2023 with an Elementary Education degree along with an ESL certification from the University of North Texas.(Go mean green)! I grew up in Plano, Texas where I attended all schools, but I can’t wait to continue my teaching journey with Frisco ISD. When I’m not in the classroom I love hanging with friends and family, working out, and traveling! My goal is to create a community within the classroom that is built on positive relationships and to create lifelong learners! I can’t wait to embark on this new journey with everyone!!

Hello! My name is Liza Galloway and I am so excited to start my first year at Ogle Elementary and my 4th year in education!
I am from Alabama but have lived in Frisco, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and most recently Carlsbad, New Mexico. After several years working in the non-profit world, and several years spent at home during the baby years, I worked to get my teaching license through an alternative program.
My family moved back to Texas in June of 2025 after spending several years in the desert. I’m glad to be back among trees and rain!
I enjoy spending time with my family, working out, playing pickleball, and tennis. I am so excited for my first year at Ogle. Kindergarten is such a fun year and I look forward to teaching your kids and working with you, the parents.
