Pamela Kerl | Lewisville ISD

"David Bach and Julie Latshaw, sixth-grade teachers at Grace Hardeman Elementary in Birdville ISD, introduced me to one of the 'parent' groups of ATPE back in 1980. In April of 1980, ATE and TPE joined forces as ATPE. My son's birth in September of 1982 coincided with my husband's Air Force change of assignment to Oklahoma. With lots of military moves, I left the teaching profession for a few years; however, when I returned to Texas and to teaching, I also returned to ATPE! This past year, I also enjoyed the benefits of membership in TCEA through my membership in ATPE. Thank you, ATPE, for all that you have done for your members in the past 30 years. I'm looking forward to the future of ATPE!"
