Welcome! My name is Karissa Venditti. This is my seventh year at Vandegrift High School and I am looking forward to a great year! I will be teaching five AP World History sections, and one European History classes. I have my BA in History from Missouri S&T and have been in education in one form or another for 14 years, including 4 years of PAL training around Texas. I hope to be more involved with the PAL program this year. I am a native Texan and I have lived in Round Rock most of my life. I have also lived in Virginia, Colorado, Missouri, and Georgia. I have two kids, a 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter and a 10 year old Corgi named Fendi that keep me pretty busy. I am a huge football and basketball fan. My favorite teams being the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Longhorns, and San Antonio Spurs! I love to read, play dominoes, and travel when I have the opportunity. I am excited about the 2021-2022 Vandegrift school year!
