Katherine Cannon

Mrs. Cannon knew from a young age that she was called to be an educator, and when she was five years old, she began teaching younger siblings at home. She has been involved formally in education since 2000, and it is her calling and passion. She earned her undergraduate degree with honors from Colorado State University in Human Development and Family Studies and her Master's Degree from the University of Denver in Curriculum & Instruction, along with a degree in Secondary Education and her teaching certificate in High School Social Studies in 2002. Since then, she has enjoyed teaching and serving as an administrator. 

Mrs. Cannon is Highly Qualified in Social Studies in the state of South Carolina, is licensed with ACSI as an All Levels Principal, and she holds endorsements in Gifted and Talented Instruction as well as Advanced Placement United States History. Additionally, she was the 2014-2015 Christian Academy Teacher of the Year, awarded the Golden Apple Excellence in Teaching Award in 2015-2016, and she was also named a SCISA Master Teacher that same year. She has served in many roles throughout her career, including as a Mentor Teacher, a Curriculum & Instructional leader, the Director of Admissions and Development, and Head of School in her time at Christian Academy. Mrs. Cannon enjoys learning and continues to attend workshops, conferences, and professional development sessions to continue to refine her understanding of God's Word and best practices in education.

Katherine moved to Myrtle Beach in 2005, has been married since 2007, and loves being a parent to two beautiful children, Amelia and Collin, who have both attended Christian Academy since Kindergarten. The Cannons are actively involved at Trinity Anglican Church, and they enjoy going to the beach, walking, biking, and attending CA Saints athletic games and theater productions.

Her favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:8 ~ 

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
