Catherine (Cathy)'s Story
Life
Hi Friends & Fellow Classmates,
It's hard to believe it was 35 years ago I finished high school! After graduating, I began college at UWM. I didn't last long and got a full time job as a secretary, working at First Wisconsin Bank then MATC. I kept going to school part time. I married Carey Meier (1966 Grad)in 1970. In 1976 I finally graduated from UWM in Special Education and became a teacher.
I taught for 8 years. I received my Master's Degree in 1980. Then in 1984 I got a job at Alverno College as the principal of the lab school. I began working on my doctorate, divorced Carey, and started a new life. In 1989, I quit my job as a principal in Waukesha to return to graduate school fulltime. I attended both Iowa State University and then UW Madison. When I finished my studies in 1991, I got my first superintendency in Fontana, WI. I moved from Madison to Lake Geneva where I lived for 3 ye...Expand for more
ars. I also adopted my daughter in 1991. Her name is Chloe and she is a beautiful, spunky little Australian Silky Terrier! In 1994 I married Dennis Derrick and moved to NY. I never thought I'd live in New York. It is fabulous! We live about 25 miles north of NYC. We have the best of both worlds - the unlimited possibilites of the city and the tranquility of the suburbs (it's really lush and green)!
I work in NJ and have changed jobs 4 times since being here! I'm doing what has been a long held dream of mine...to teach at the university level! I am a professor of Ed. Leadership and chair of my dept. It is a graduate program to prepare school principals and superintendents.
My husband Dennis and I love to travel and have been fortunate to travel through China and Japan in the last 2 years....two very different cultures and countries.
My space is running out, soooo "happy trails to you....."
