About+Me



My name is Caitlin Capps and I am a native of Norman, Oklahoma. My parents grew up in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, which is a small town about 30 minutes south of Norman. I have a younger sister named Sarah and while we look alike, we are extremely different from one another. I also have a two-year-old golden retriever named Zeke.

I graduated from Norman North High School in May, 2008 and will graduate from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in history education as well as a minor in Spanish.

I have a deep love of history, creative writing, art, and music. I played the viola in orchestra and I also know how to fiddle. I am constantly drawing and writing and I hope to incorporate those loves into my classroom.

My inspiration to teach comes from my experiences with children. My first summer job was at a summer daycare working with elementary-age kids. By far, my time at that daycare has been one of the richest experiences of my life. In fact, working with the kids at the daycare helped me realize that I did not want to go into a career in art, but rather, my real calling in life was to work with kids.

Since then, I have continued to work at the summer daycare every summer. I also teach Sunday school and I love every minute of it.
