Karen Towles graduated from Casady in 1965, and attended the University of Central Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma for undergraduate work in Psychology and Accounting. Mrs. Towles realizes that it was an unusual combination of majors, but she thoroughly enjoyed the study. Later, when Mrs. Towles decided to pursue a future in education, she completed her Masters in Education and her Montessori certification at Oklahoma City University.
Mrs. Towles was working as a vice president at a bank when she became a mother, and decided to change her career path toward education. She returned to Casady in 1991 as a member of the Primary Division faculty and has been a dependable, consistent member of the division her entire time here.
Mrs. Towles loves employing Montessori learning tactics with her students. Throughout her time working in Primary Division she has seen the positive impact the divsion's Montessori approach has had on the children's future academic successes. To her, it's all about establishing those good habits and practices early.
Mrs. Towles savors every moment she's on campus, but she especially looks forward to the Primary Division Chapel services on Friday each week. She loves the proximity of the Primary Division to the lake, and the birds and other wildlife that make Casady campus their home.
"The experience of coming to Casady for work every day is magnificent," Mrs. Towles said. "Working with children who are bright, funny, and excited about what they discover is a great part of every day. It is joyful to witness their wonder and awe and to be part of that moment when a student masters a skill, loses a tooth, makes a connection, or helps a friend in need."
