Hi! My name is Karen Tegtmeyer. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Teaching and Secondary Education from Marquette University and a Middle School Endorsement from St. Xavier University. Additionally, I am an Archdiocese of Chicago certified catechist. Prior to teaching at SFX, I taught high school English and Literature at Catholic high schools in the Milwaukee area and St. Agnes School in Chicago Heights. This is my fourteenth year to teach 8th Grade Language Arts, Literature, and Religion in Archdiocese of Chicago schools and my tenth year at SFX! I believe all of my students are unique and important members of the class. Students learn best when they are in a safe, positive community that fosters collaboration, communication, and joy!
As a teacher, I love what I do everyday. I also enjoy reading, photography, traveling, relaxing outdoors, cheering for my favorite teams (Go Marquette Golden Eagles!), and spending time with family and friends.
