Hello Hawks! My name is Karen Giesler and I teach 7th grade Integrated Science. This is my 16th year of teaching and my 5th year at Prairie Heights. I have lived in Colorado most of my life and love all the outdoor activities this state provides. In my spare time, I love running/working out, hiking, paddleboarding, and just started backpacking this summer. When I'm not enjoying the outdoors, I love to relax on the couch and watch a good movie or Netflix series, spend time with my pets (I have a very large cat named Bandit and a dog named Bailey), or cook with my fiance Dave. I'm excited to start the new school year and can't wait to see everyone! GO HAWKS!
