Ms. M the Magnificent

My name is Kate Marcouiller and I am so excited to be your history teacher this year! This is the 7.5 year I've worked at Denman and have taught 8th history for several years during that time- though public speaking is new this year! Before I became your teacher I got a BA in US and European History, an MA in Teaching and a teaching credential (social studies) from the University of San Francisco. I was also a National Park Service park ranger at Alcatraz Island for several years, and because of this, outdoor education and experiential learning are really important to me. While I was training to be a teacher, I taught in a high school ethnic studies class and ever since then ethnic studies concepts have been part of my classes. When I am not teaching I enjoy hiking, baking, reading and rewatching The Office.
