Mrs. Karen Coulter

This will be my seventh year here at South Eastern Middle School, and it is guaranteed to be an exciting year! I love to learn, and I consider each day an opportunity to learn something new. It is my hope that my students and I will learn together, and that I will be able to instill that love of learning in them as well.

This will be my ninth year teaching in Pennsylvania. My previous position was as a PSSA reading and remedial reading teacher in South Park, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. I have earned a Bachelor's in Print Journalism from Duquesne University, a Post-Bachelor's degree from Point Park University in Secondary Education, and a Master's in Industrial Labor Relations from West Virginia University. Furthermore, I have completed courses for certification in English as a Second Language. My current certifications include English, Communications, and Reading Specialist. Before teaching, I spent 10 years working in the public relations field as a director and writer.

Since moving to the York area, I am astounded by the beauty of the South Eastern area. My husband, son, and I enjoy fishing, hiking, camping, and just about any outdoor activity. The parks, lakes, and trails will certainly keep us active and busy. I also am an avid reader, and I have been known to get into lengthy book discussions. It is my philosophy that books open up the world to us, and we can go anywhere through them.

Teaching your children is a privilege. I know this is going to be an exciting year and I can't wait to start!
