My name is Kerry McDaniel and I am thrilled to be a part of the Middle School team of El Dorado Private School!

I am originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, where I spent much of my childhood in my parents’ classrooms helping, learning, and planning for my own future career as a teacher. I graduated from a private high school and then went on to earn my Bachelors Degree in Education at Indiana University. Through IU, I had the amazing opportunity to complete my student teaching in New South Wales, Australia. I then moved to Hawaii where I gained my first two years of teaching experience. This is my third year living in Phoenix where I’ve had the opportunity to teach in both Scottsdale and Glendale public schools.

This is my fifth year as an educator having previously taught 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grade. I am so happy to be starting my Private School teaching career and am even more excited to be working with El Dorado’s 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th graders!
