Meet Mrs. Cadenhead

My name is Karen Cadenhead. This is my 5^th year at Lake Dallas Primary. I have 12 years teaching experience, 8 years with Lewisville ISD and 4 years in Lake Dallas. During my time at Lewisville, I taught kindergarten for seven years and second grade for one year. Before coming to teach at Lake Dallas, I stayed home for 4 years with my younger son and had my own daycare.

I was born in Texas and raised in West Lafayette, Indiana. I came back to Texas to graduate from Lake Dallas High School. I received my Early Childhood Education degree from University of North Texas in 1989. I am ESL certified and just recently finished my certification in computer technology.

I have been married to my husband, Don for 14 years. Don is a Material Planner for Southwest Airlines. We have two sons. Donald Edwin is 12 years old and will be at the Middle School this year. Justin Lewis is 8 and attends Corinth Elementary. We also have two dogs, Ruby and Benji and a cat named Cleo.

I love to teach Kindergarten!! I can’t picture doing anything else. Learning should be fun and I try to make each child’s first year at school a special one. I look forward to sharing in your child’s educational adventure!

Some of my favorite things are running, swimming, basketball, watching movies, gardening, hot tea, sunsets, popcorn, picnics, watching children learn, holidays, eating at the Roadhouse Grill, collecting children’s books, spending time with my family, and traveling.
