Welcome!  My name is Catherine Kendrick and I teach Sophomore and Senior English this year.  I am originally from the Candler area and I graduated from Enka in 2007.  I am very happy to be back in the community after attending Appalachian State University (earning a degree in English/Secondary Education).  

Being able to contribute to this community has been a true reward for the past four years. It has been a wonderful learning experience to work with students in order to focus on success, organization, and growth.

When I am away from school I spend my time with my family, friends, and dog (Kuechly).  In 2014 I married my best friend and we continue to reside in the Candler community. I love to work out and volunteer.  Right now, I am volunteering with Hands On Asheville through United Way and preparing for 5Ks.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at catherine.port@bcsemail.org or call me at (828) 670-5000.
