Mrs. Kris Casperson
During my time at the University of Houston, I relished my (English & Psychology) coursework.
I knew going into college that I loved English, but I really had no idea just how cool it would be to choose advanced courses specializing in something that you love! While there, I ended up taking every English class that was offered, and I also discovered my passion for Psychology. My professors were amazing. I love how relevant the career fields of psychology are to us all. And, during my studies, I was always fascinated by how much my understanding of human behavior (& our universal experiences) have changed my worldview.
When I joined Carnegie Vanguard High School in 2007, I was beyond thrilled. Even though we were located in a quirky old building (& a former elementary school), it immediately felt like home to me. I was met with such a supportive faculty and staff. The camaraderie at the CVHS campus was (& still is) unparalleled. And, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I absolutely love teaching Gifted & Talented students because of the unique and wonderful passions that they bring with them to school every day. And, I always love the unexpected turns that our in-class discussions can take.

For my AP LIT students:
I look forward to sharing my LOVE of literature with you throughout the year! And, I know that you will enjoy the memorable characters and dramatic adventures that you will experience in this classroom!
For my AP PSYCH students:
I look forward to sharing my LOVE of the human mind with you throughout the year! We will explore an overview of the essential content that you would cover in an "Intro to Psychology" course in college. And, together, we will experience a variety of theoretical perspectives to help us understand the science behind it all. I know that at the end of the year you will leave the classroom with an expanded view of the *amazing* things that our beautiful brains can do!
