She's our Digital Learning Specialist extraordinaire! Kim doesn't just work her magic on our campus - she spreads her tech superpowers across multiple elementaries too. Armed with endless technology knowledge and the amazing ability to make even the most complex tech feel simple, Kim is passionate about showing students that technology skills can unlock incredible opportunities that stretch far beyond the classroom.
Our Super K is a proud SFA Lumberjack who turned her technical writing degree into a mission of educational excellence! After spending 10 years inspiring minds as an English teacher at Klein Forest, she transitioned to Instructional Media Coordinator at VISTAS High School for 6 years before finding her perfect home here at Kleb seven years ago. Talk about a journey of impact!
When she's not busy saving the day with her tech wizardry, Kim is rocking the mom life with three amazing kids. Her oldest just graduated from Texas A&M and is heading to Baylor for PA school this fall! Her son is crushing it as a junior at Klein Collins, while her youngest daughter is thriving in her freshman year there. Both Klein Collins kids are band members, and you'll find Kim cheering them on with the enthusiasm only a proud band parent can muster! Her husband keeps the Klein ISD family strong as both an educator and coach right at Klein Collins - how perfect is that for a family where both parents can support their kids every step of the way!
Here's a Klein connection that'll blow your mind: Kim IS Klein! She's a homegrown hero who walked the very halls of Brill, then Kleb, and finally Klein High. Now that's a full-circle story! When she's not troubleshooting tech or solving digital dilemmas, you'll find her cheering on the Astros or hitting the road in the family RV for some fun camping adventures. 🚀⚾🏕️

While this may be her first rodeo at middle school AND her debut year with us, Mrs. Penn is no stranger to the classroom - she has 13 years of teaching magic under her belt! This Dallas native and proud Texas State Bobcat (where she dazzled as a Strutter!) made the leap from high school hallways to our 6th-grade corridors, trading her high school cheer-coaching whistle for the exciting world of middle school adventures.
When she's not inspiring young minds, you'll find Mrs. Penn living her best life as a mom to her adorable 2-year-old. Family is everything to Mrs. Penn. With three sisters and a heart full of love, she knows the power of connection both at home and in the classroom.
Whether she's diving into a good book, dreaming of sandy beaches, or planning her next adventure to explore new places, Mrs. Penn brings that same sense of wonder and curiosity to her teaching. Her passion for education is contagious, and she's absolutely loving every moment with our amazing 6th graders!

While Ms. Deschensky may be new to our halls, she's no stranger to Klein. This longtime community resident has found her way home after a journey that reads like an adventure novel! From earning her University of Texas at San Antonio marketing degree to mastering the art of making science exciting for grades 6-8, her story is just getting started.
Our very own science teacher once sang in front of the Pope during a 10-year choir career that took her stages across Europe! From harmonizing in the choir to promoting excitement on hockey rinks (yes, she was the energy behind those thrilling intermission promotions!), Ms. Deschensky can captivate an audience.
When she's not inspiring young scientists, you'll find Ms. Deschensky casting a line while fishing, looking for the perfect find while shopping, or creating cozy masterpieces through crocheting - often with her kitty, Stella, keeping a watchful eye!
From European concert halls to hockey arenas to Klein classrooms, Ms. Deschensky shows that educators can bring a world of experience to everything they do!
This week, we’re celebrating The Great Kindness Challenge. Dress-up themes and daily activities are listed on the attached flyer
