My name is Kathleen Polk. I am a graduate of Wayne State University where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. I later returned to Wayne State University to do graduate work in Preschool and Parent Education. I am Catechist Certified by the Archdiocese of Detroit My early college years drew me to the medical field where I received my CCMA training. This allowed me to work in a pediatric office for 12 years doing patient care/education. Although I have taught in both the public and private setting, the majority of my teaching experience has been in Catholic Schools. I enjoy teaching in the Catholic School setting because it not only offers an excellent academic education, but a faith-filled education built upon Catholic virtues and the life of Jesus Christ. I am not only an educator in the Catholic School setting, but a parent as well. I have four children that attended Catholic schools for their K-12 school years.
