Hello!
My name is Katie Urban and I am the 8th grade math teacher. I grew up in Kingman, KS and graduated from the University of Kansas. I love to run, be outdoors, and spend time with my family.
I am in my 12th year teaching middle school math. I taught 6th grade for 4 years in the DeSoto district and 7/8th grade for 5 years in Edmond, OK. This is my 3rd year as a Eudora Cardinal!
