Caryn Kratzer

Hello! My name is Caryn Kratzer, and this is my eighth year at Heritage Intermediate, I am excited to encourage, inspire and challenge all of my students this year!

A Little Bit About Me

I taught my children, at home, for six years, once they were older I decided to go back to college and finish my degree. I graduated from Cal State University, Northridge with my degree in Sociology in 2015! I then decided to obtain my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential to pursue my love of sharing with young people.

I have been married for 28 years and have 3 wonderful children. Other than my family and teaching, I spend much of my time either listening to music or singing it myself.

My desire in teaching is to help students realize they can accomplish more than they think they can and help them to think "out-side of the box" - challenging themselves to grow to be their BEST!
