Since Karen’s first class of kindergarteners that she taught
graduated high school last June, it’s a safe bet that many, many children in
Copper know and love Miss Vail.
Teaching now for 13 years, Miss Vail has taught
kindergarten, k/1 splits and straight 1st grade, as well as holding
the position of Itinerant Resource Teacher between Mark Twain and Copper,
Independent Study Teacher, Yearbook advisor, Lead teacher for MTUESD – planning
staff development and supervising professional collaboration days for the
district – and the title of Assistant Principal of Copper School since October
2010. When the principal job became available “I applied…and went through the
same interview process as the other candidates.”
