My name is Katie Knudson. I have been teaching for 20 years. My husband and I and our 4 children live in rural Ellendale. We enjoy trips to the cabin, rangering, campfires and watching our children's sporting events. I previously taught kindergarten and have loved the transition to first grade!

A fun fact about me is that my husband teaches 5th grade here at NRHEG. We love the welcoming communities. In my free time, I enjoy being at the lake, reading a good book, and spending time with family and friends. I am so excited to start another great school year!
