Hello Hightower Family!

I am Miss Kruder and this is my third year at Hightower! Before joining this wonderful team, I taught 4th grade for two years. I was born and raised in Plano. I am a proud alumna of Plano Senior High School, go Wildcats! I graduated from Midwestern State University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies EC-6 degree. I absolutely love my job and can honestly say teaching is my passion! In my free time I enjoy working out, spending time with family and friends, and getting caught up on my favorite TV shows. I am probably the biggest San Antonio Spurs fan you will meet in the North Dallas area. I am obsessed with Golden Retrievers, and I can never have enough coffee. I cannot wait for another fabulous year!
