Hello, I am Cate Krage (pronounced “Cray-ghee) and I am delighted to be teaching Foundations of Computer Science, AP Computer Science Principles and Advance Design Applications at Bowie High School this year.
This is my ninth year in Prince George’s County and my nineteenth year teaching. My early career was spent working in theater; onstage, backstage, scene shop and front of house - basically learning how to pick up tasks I’d never done before and accomplish them by the time the show opened.
I grew up in Central New York State and earned my BA in Comparative Literature (Spanish/German) from SUNY Binghamton. I moved to the DC area and earned an MA in Children’s Theater Management. After I married and had two daughters, I found work at a K-8 school teaching computer/pre-engineering and serving as the IT specialist/ Technology Coordinator. I acquired an MEd in Instructional Technology and a Maryland State Certification in Technology Education.
I love reading Science Fiction and am vastly amused that much of what I read before 2000 has become Science Fact.
