April Shannon

Hello! My name is April Shannon.

I am originally from Louisiana but have lived in Texas for seven years. I have a bachelors and masters in Elementary/Early Childhood Education from the University of Louisiana Monroe. I am also a certified Group Fitness Instructor and teach group fitness as a side hustle.

I have 19 years of teaching experience in 2nd grade, 1st grade, and as an elementary librarian. My heart belongs to 2nd graders!

My husband and I have been married for 15 years and have two wonderful children; Cameron who is 13 and Hallie who is 9. My husband works as a fire protection engineer in the City of Mckinney.

I love to cook, read, exercise, and spend time with my family. I love trips to Louisiana to visit my parents and friends.

Jade Tatsuhara

Hello! My name is Ms. Tatsuhara. I am so excited to work alongside you to further your child’s academic journey! My goal is to foster a positive learning environment that challenges students to reach their fullest potential!

I was born and raised in Texas. I love traveling and spending time with those close to me! I also enjoy participating in arts and crafts such as painting or drawing.

I attended Texas A&M Commerce where I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary/Early Childhood Education. This will be my third year teaching. I did my student teaching in Kindergarten, and have taught 1st grade and 2nd grade at Ogle.

Cecilia Clark

Hello!

My name is Cecilia Clark, and I am thrilled to be returning to the Ogle family for another wonderful school year! I’m proud to call McKinney, Texas my hometown, though I also spent some time in Conway, Arkansas, where I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education—Go Bears!

This year marks my sixth year teaching here at Ogle, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of such a warm and supportive community. I truly love our Ogle family and am excited to create even more meaningful and memorable experiences with your children.

In addition to teaching, I earned my master’s degree in Educational Leadership with a principal as instructional leader certification at the University of North Texas. I’m passionate about growing as an educator and leader to better support our students and school community.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy traveling, shopping, needlepointing, and playing mahjong with friends. I’m looking forward to a year filled with learning, laughter, and growth. Thank you so much for partnering with me on your child’s educational journey. Together, we’re going to make this an amazing year!

Warmly,

Miss Clark

Lorraine Phillips

Hello!

I am Lorraine Phillips and I am so excited to be teaching second grade this year! I am from Plano,Texas and have lived in the area my whole life. I am super excited to be teaching near where I grew up! I earned my bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Texas Tech and my master’s degree in Criminal Justice from UNT before discovering my passion for elementary education! I completed my teaching certification through an alternative certification program and am thrilled to begin this new chapter.

I believe every child deserves a classroom where they feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. My goal is to create a positive, engaging environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going to the gym and long walks, traveling, trying out new restaurants, and being with my dog, Missy. I can’t wait for such a fun year full of learning and memories!
