Hi there! My name is Karen Meyer and I am one of six 3rd grade teachers at Herscher Intermediate School. I am in my 11th year in the Herscher district and this is my 8th year teaching 3rd grade. I earned my bachelors degree in Elementary Education from the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois and my masters in Educational Technology from the American College of Education. At USF, I played for the Lady Saints volleyball team all four years. My husband and I reside in Bourbonnais, IL. He is an athletic trainer in Joliet. We adopted a fur baby in May of 2020 whom we absolutely love. When I'm not teaching, my husband and I enjoy traveling, playing slow pitch softball, or just being with our family and friends. We were married in June of 2018!

I have a passion for helping young children. Growing up in a family full of educators, it was easy for me to choose my path. I am extremely happy to be helping mold the minds of young ones today and excited to see what they can achieve in the future!
