Hi Everyone! My name is Courtney Kahl. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago and moved to Mississippi in 2018. I am married and have a cat named Felix and a French Bulldog names Moose. I received my high school diploma in 2011 from Hoffman Estates High School. After high school I went to the U.S. Navy and graduated bootcamp with honors. After my time in the Navy, I wanted to pursue my dreams of becoming a teacher. I have always been passionate about education and create a positive impact on student learners. So in 2017, I became an Alumni of Southern Illinois University Carbondale where I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Education.
With being a new resident of Desoto County and member Olive Branch High School, I have never felt more welcomed and at home. I am looking forward to year three at Olive Branch High School and getting the opportunity to teach geometry once again. Not only am I teaching this year, but I am also asst. softball coach and one of the cheer sponsors! OBHS has presented me with many opportunities and provided guidance by giving me the tools needed to make my classroom successful. My goal for this year is to create a positive learning environment within the classroom and virtually to allow students to succeed and challenge themselves. As well as motivate the students to set goals and work hard at everything they do. With that, let's bring on the 2020-2021 school year!
