Hello! My name is Kate Morrell, and I am thrilled to be joining the St. Francis family this year. I am looking forward to getting to know each of my students and helping them grow both academically and personally. I can't wait to begin this exciting journey together. I am originally from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy going for walks, shopping, watching sports, and spending time with my cat, Scout!

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at West Virginia University. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Special Education at West Virginia University. I did my student teaching in 2nd and 5th grade at Suncrest Elementary School. I was also a long-term substitute at Suncrest Elementary in a 4th-grade classroom!
