Kathy McDaniel
Middle School English & History
My name is Kathlena (Kathy) McDaniel and I joyfully serve as the MIddle School ELA and History teacher at San Clemente Christian School. I began my teaching career in 1995 and bring experience teaching reading, English, Honors English, theater, middle school history, and fifth grade to SCCS. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine, and earned my teaching credential from Concordia University Irvine. After serving in school administration for two years, I am excited to return to the classroom, combining my love of English and history with a Christian worldview. I am passionate about helping students grow as inquisitive learners and faithful servant leaders, equipped to impact their communities for Christ. I am the mother of two children and an active member of my church where I served for many years as a middle school leader. Outside the classroom, I enjoy sports, photography, writing, theater, and apologetics.
