Hello! My name is Karin Charles, and I am excited to be teaching 5th grade, elementary Spanish and Technology at Holy Spirit Catholic School. I graduated from Marquette University with a Bachelors degree and minor in Spanish. I transitioned to a career in education in 2016 and have held various positions here at Holy Spirit since 2021. Most recently, I was the 2nd grade co-teacher alongside Ms. Umlauft while teaching 1st through 3rd grade Spanish and 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade Technology. Prior to entering the education field, I worked for a large tech company and had the opportunity to travel extensively in Central and South America. I love to share my enthusiasm around technology and Spanish language and culture with my students while helping to enrich their faith. I live in Appleton with my husband and three children, all of whom attend Holy Spirit Catholic School. I am grateful to be part of the Holy Spirit School community helping to cultivate saints in the making.
