Karen Cannon

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Benedictine College in 1974. I have Lifetime Missouri certification, in grades K-8. I also have current certification from the Archdiocese of St. Louis as a catechist. Through the years I have completed several graduate courses in elementary curriculum areas.

I am beginning my fourteenth year at Our Lady of Providence. For the past thirteen years I have been the fifth grade homeroom teacher and language arts teacher for fourth grade. This year I am excited to be the fourth grade homeroom teacher and religion and English teacher for fifth grade.

I love teaching at OLP because I believe we have some of the greatest students, staff, and parents in the St. Louis area. There is such a spirit of cooperation and a feeling of “family”. Everyone works together for the betterment of our students. I feel privileged to be a part of this school community.
