Katherine Cowart:  

ch or April. College I received my Bachelor's degree in August of 1972 from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of New Mexico. My major was History and my composite minor was in English, Political Science and Psychology. I also earned enough hours in the College of Education to be a credentialed secondary teacher. Later, in 1991, I earned a Master's degree at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego in Counseling. For 12 years I served as a middle school counselor in the Poway Unified School District in San Diego County, California - and prior to this I served as a middle school counselor in the Escondido Union District. Most of my career was spent teaching. After 16 years as a counselor, in 2009, I returned to teaching middle school language arts and social studies. It was a wonderful decision - and a great way to "ride into retirement" in the future. I plan on working until I'm 70 - or my body wears out first! Presently we have two adult sons, Jonathan and Simeon. Like his mother, Simeon is also a middle school teacher. Jonathan is a successful insurance broker. Jon gave us two granddaughters (so far) and Simeon is giving us another one the end of March 2013.
