Staff
Library Information Specialist – Kris Maraveller
I have been at Meadowdale High School since 1996, the only school I have ever taught at! Originally from Colville, Washington, I moved to this area to attend Western Washington University. I started my teaching career teaching Life Fitness, then added Yoga. Then I moved to English--which was my major in college--teaching all grades at some point, but primarily 9th and 11th grade. I am also the head cross country coach in the fall and an assistant track coach in the spring. Both of my daughters graduated from MHS as well.
I have a passion for reading--especially historical fiction--and research, and I am excited to help
you find the sources that you need for your projects or the book(s) you want to read!
