Hello Wildcats! 

I am so excited for the 2024 - 2025 school year! This will be my 10th year teaching in Polk County. I am a graduate of the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and Florida Southern College. I am ESOL certified, Brain Spring trained, have my Reading Endorsement and Florida Civics Seal of Excellence Endorsement.

 I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 3 sweet kiddos who attend MAT. We love being a part of the McKeel family!!  

It's going to be the best year in first grade!!
