Cathie Koole– Second Grade

Email:ckoole@hchr.org

Bio: 

My life hasn’t always followed a traditional path. After adopting our children internationally and watching them grow and learn, the Lord led me to pursue a teaching career. Over the past couple of years I worked on obtaining an elementary education degree online through Western Governors University (2023).

I married Justin Koole back in 1999 and have been blessed with four children. We attend Zion PRC and as a family, we enjoy boating, traveling, and Michigan football.
