Karen Keehn

My name is Karen Keehn. I am a third generation educator. Education has been the focus of almost my entire life. I taught in Southern California for 4 years, and 33 years in Bishop. Since retiring, I have been a volunteer art teacher at the elementary school for the last 11 years, volunteering in up to 20 classes a year. In addition to my time at school, I am also a founding member of Playhouse 395, our local theater company.

 

I attended California State University at Long Beach where I received my teaching credential and graduated with honors with a major in Psychology.

 

I have been a resident of the Owens Valley for 46 years. Arriving as a newlywed, I began teaching in Bishop in 1979 at Bishop Elementary School. My husband taught and coached at the high school, and our three children all attended Bishop Schools K – 12.

 

I am seeking your vote for the BUSD School Board because I believe in public education. In these often turbulent times, I believe that my decades of experience in the educational field will give me the experience to represent students, teachers, and parents in a positive way to help keep our schools on a steady path.
