About

Catina Deiro Haugen: loving wife, proud mom of two boys, loyal daughter, older sister, fun aunt, favorite sister-in-law, dependable best friend, inspired educator, educational leader, avid reader, and #kaiafitpetaluma addict.

While I love to think out loud via this blog, most reflections languish as drafts.  I’m a Google Certified Innovator (#gtamtv14) and conference junkie.  Learning is a rush!

After fourteen years of classroom teaching, I now proudly serve as principal to approximately 320 TK through 6th grade students and 30 dedicated education professionals at Valley Vista Elementary School in Petaluma, CA.

I love my life!
