Welcome! I am Katie Dieringer, a third grade Reading/Language Arts teacher at the best elementary school, Nimitz Elememtary! I moved to Kerrville in 2005, after graduating from Texas Tech. I love living in the beauty of the Hill Country with my husband, Derek Dieringer, two children, Maggie and Tucker, along with two cats and a dog. My husband owns Woodbury Taxidermy and has lived here all of his life. We love the outdoors and the experiences this beautiful community provides. My children both attend Nimitz Elementary and are in third grade and fifth grade. They are THE reason I grow everyday as an educator.

I have taught in the amazing KISD school district for sixteen years. What is my WHY to teaching? My passion is working with children and building lifelong releationships, where I get the priveledge of watching our youth grow into sucessful humans! Since being in the classroom, I have felt so much love and passion in teaching the love of reading and writing. Being a part of our community as a teacher inspires me everyday. I can not wait to teach for many years to come. #KISDinspires
