Hi! I'm Catherine Kruse and I am SO excited for the 25-26 school year! I live in town with my husband Ryan and our three boys (16, 10, and 4). We moved back to Mascoutah in 2014 after my husband spent 10 years in the Marines. We loved being part of this community again, that means so much to us!

I enjoy reading, fitness, and hanging out with friends and family. You'll find me on the weekends driving my kids around, attempting to drink my coffee while it's still hot, and squeezing in a little uninterrupted reading time. 

This is my 4th year at MES and my 13th year teaching. I’m so thrilled to be teaming with Mrs. Crismon again! We can’t wait to build a positive classroom community and dig deeper into learning with our students!
