Mrs. Dow

This is my 27th year of teaching at CKS, and I still love coming to school everyday! I am blessed to be the gifted and talented teacher for our pull-out enrichment program called SOAR.

I was born and raised in Dallas. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1983 with a BA in history and English. I also have a Gifted Education Endorsement from the University of North Texas.

My husband Scott and I have four fabulous children who are all part of the CKS community. My daughter Katie attended CKS and Prestonwood Christian Academy; she is currently a 5th year senior at the University of Oklahoma. My son Scotty attended CKS and Jesuit; he currently is a senior at NYU. My third son, Cody, attended CKS and currently is a sophomore at John Paul II High School. Tommy, my youngest son, is in 8th grade at CKS . My own four children reinforce the fact that all children are unique and special gifts from God.

My ultimate goal in teaching is to instill a life long quest for learning. It is my mission to create a desire for excellence and to develop a student that functions independently at the level of his or her potential.
