Hello. My name is Katrina Sacurom and I am one of the fifth grade teachers this year. I am looking forward to this 2025-2026 school year. This is my second year at Shawnee Trail. I will be teaching English Language Arts & Reading (ELAR).
I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. I attended Texas A&M University of Kingsville and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in International Studies. Then I graduated from The Johns Hopkins University with a Master of Science in Education. I am an avid traveler who loves food, coffee, and kayaking.
