Hello and Welcome! 

My name is Catherine Smietana and I recently moved back to the great state of Texas! Growing up, I moved around numerous times: Nebraska, California, Maine and Texas. Moving has allowed me to learn and grow so much. I love experiencing new places! 

I am a graduate from Sul Ross State Univeristy. I have a BA in Communication in 2013 and an M.Ed in 2015. 

For the past five years I lived in Southern California (2015-2020). I taught English and coached cheerleading in the Coachella Valley at Shadow Hills High School. 

This year I will be teaching English 2. You can also find me assisting the dance team! 

I am excited to embark on this new journey at Steele High School.

GO KNIGHTS!
