Hello! My name is Katie Wood-Sponsel and I wear lots of hats! Obviously I am a social studies and English teacher, but I am also a wife to Ty, a mom to Brooke, Reed and Tyler, a really good friend, a dog mom to Bo the elderly Beagle, a history nerd, a book lover, a tennis player, a hater of wearing shoes and sitting in chairs, a yogi, a fan of the great outdoors, you get the idea...
I was born in Redding, California where I lived through 8th grade. I then moved to Houston, Texas for one year and then Albuquerque, NM to finish out high school. I went to San Diego State University where I graduated in 2002 with a degree in Communications & Political Science. I began my teaching career in 2003 as an 8th grade social studies teacher at Cornerstone Academy where I stayed for 16 years. This is my first year at SBAI and I am THRILLED to be here! I can't wait to build relationships and create fun, empowering and challenging learning experiences for my students.
