Karen Barnes-Yehl
John Muir Junior High School
6th Grade English Language and Social Studies Teacher
Hanford, California
I am a mother to 4 children ages 21, 20, 19, and 17, three girls and one boy. I have been married to a wonderful man for the past 9 years and we have established our home in Hanford, CA. My husband and I are also step-parents to a wonderful 27 year old daughter who has blessed us with two grandsons aged 7 years and a newborn who is one week old. In addition, we have 4 dogs and 1 cat. Needless to say, it is never a dull moment around our house. For the past 16 years I have been teaching for Corcoran Unified School District. I am currently a 6th grade English and Social Studies teacher in Corcoran, CA at John Muir Middle School. I have had the wonderful opportunity to have 1:1 iPads with my students for the past 7 years. I love my job and teaching with a great group of people. I am so blessed!
