Ms. Kato's Classes

Hello!  I'm Ms. Kato (KAH-toe)

I have been teaching at Metuchen High School since 2002.  This year, I am teaching biology, chemistry and environmental science.  In the past,  I have also taught earth science and anatomy & physiology at MHS. 

In addition, I advise the Environmental Club, Asian Heritage Club, Anime Club, Tree Ambassadors Program and the NJ Envirothon.

I graduated from Wellesley College with an undergraduate degree in Biology and did some graduate work in Ecology at Rutgers University.

I am in the process of earning a MS in Teaching and Learning Chemistry through the New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning.  

I was born in Japan, but came to the US as a child and grew up in Brooklyn.   So I do speak Japanese, but it's very limited!

When I'm not wearing my teacher hat, I'm a mom to three kids (ages 12-18).  In my spare time, I like learning about plants and critters, doing crafts, and Japanese Folk Dance.
