Mrs. Karnes taught 7th and 8th Social Studies at CTK for 11 years, then took a couple of years at home after her second child was born. Now she is back as the 7th and 8th grade Language Arts teacher. Mrs. Karnes says that while she was away, she “felt a void” and really missed “the creativeness that comes out of students and teachers”. She and her husband have a son (7) and a daughter (4), as well as two dogs.
