Welcome!

My name is Cassie Kulhanek and I absolutely love my job as Columbus ISD's District Librarian! My time is split between the jr high and high school but I also collaborate with Mrs. Janak at the elementary school. I can be found at CJHS Tuesday thru Thursday each week and at CHS on Mondays and Fridays. This is my 12th year with Columbus ISD. I taught kindergarten for four years, one year 4th grade Science and Social Studies, and one year 3rd grade Science and Social Studies. This is my 6th year as the District Librarian. I was born and raised in Columbus, TX. I attended Columbus ISD myself K - 12th and graduated with honors from CHS. I obtained my A.A. in Psychology from Blinn, my B.S. in Psychology from University of Phoenix, and earned my teaching certificate through WCACP. I also student taught 4th grade and then was a substitute teacher at CES. I am EC-6 Generalist and ESL certified. I also hold certifications in ELAR/Social Studies 4-8 and Math/Science 4-8. I graduated from Texas Woman's University with my Master of Library Science (MLS) in December 2018. My husband, Colby, and I have been married for 18 years. I have two sons and a daughter, as well as a stepson. I absolutely love to read and to talk about reading and books, as well as spend time outdoors with my family, swim, take pictures, and enjoy our country life.

 I am looking forward to a great and exciting year ahead!!!
