Bynum

Welcome to 3rd Grade!

Hi! My name is Stephanie Bynum and I teach 3rd grade at Wolf Ranch Elementary. This is my 3rd year at Wolf Ranch, but my 20th year in education. I previously taught at Cooper Elementary in Georgetown and Neal Elementary in Bryan. I earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University in 2003. I am certified to teach PreK-4th grade and provide ESL instruction. I have been married to my husband, Brandon, for fifteen years. He earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Administration, with an emphasis in finance, from Texas A&M University in 2002. We have 10-year-old twin girls, Ava Claire and Hayden. They will be 5th graders at Wolf Ranch this year. I look forward to working with you this year!

Mrs. Kari Hale

I moved from Houston to Georgetown in 2020, and I was hired at Wolf Ranch Elementary the year it was opened. This is my tenth year teaching. I've taught pre-k, kindergarten, third grade and fifth grade, all subjects. My passion is reading and writing. I majored in journalism and photography at Sam Houston State University and spent time as a newspaper reporter and a banker before getting my teaching certificate. I live with my husband, daugher, and dog.

Hello! I am so excited to be teaching your 3rd grader at Wolf Ranch!

This is my 29th year teaching elementary school and my third year here in Georgetown. We moved here from San Antonio where I had lived and taught for 26 years. I am originally from Indiana and graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Corrective Reading Practices.

I have been married to my husband, Arturo, for 17 years. We have a Freshman son at GHS and a 7th grade daughter. We also have 3 dogs, a cat, and a hamster (who often joins me here at school).

I am looking forward to a great year with your kiddo!

Berry

Hello!!

My name is Jordan Berry. I was born in Conway, Arkansas and raised in Montgomery, Texas. I played softball for 16 years. I went to Montgomery High School and played all 4 years while traveling across the nation on a select team. Some of my favorite places to play were in Florida, Colorado, and California because of the beautiful weather! I continued my softball journey at a collegiate level at Texas Lutheran University for 1 year. My favorite memory was winning the conference championship game. After, I chose to focus on academics. I was the secretary for Association at TLU where I received a degree in Education. This will be my second year teaching 3rd grade! My passion is to teach children and make a positive impact!

McCarthy

Hello!

I was born and raised in Plainfield, Illinois. I continued my education at Blackburn College, which is where I got my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Ever since I was young, I have wanted to move out of state and live somewhere new and exciting, which is how I ended up in Texas! I do not have any children, but I do have a dog named Arnold. He is a one-year-old mixed-breed dog. Arnold got his name from my love of Arnold Palmer’s! In the fall of 2021, I began the school year working as an Interventionist at a local school in Illinois, and was fortunate enough to have gotten a fifth-grade mid-year opening, which is where my classroom teaching began! I loved being a classroom teacher so much that I continued into the summer and taught summer school. I am very excited to start teaching in Georgetown ISD and working with the students at Wolf Ranch!
