About Us:

 Kristal Shanahan

     I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ouachita Baptist 
University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.  After teaching three years of third 
grade in Copperas Cove at Miss Jewell Elementary, I received my Master of 
Science with an emphasis in Educational Psychology.  I continued on in 
Copperas Cove as a counselor for one year.  Upon moving to Round Rock, I 
worked as a part-time counselor at both Double File Trail and Wells Branch 
Elementary.  This year I’m excited to be back for my eighth year as the full-
time counselor at Gattis!!!
    I live with my husband, Larry, and sons, Logan (5) and Kaden (2).  My
interests include hanging out with family and friends, reading and going to
the movies.


Jane Price

     I am starting my ninth year with Round Rock ISD, and I am so happy to 
be full-time at Gattis.
     My degree is in Elementary Education.  After teaching for a few years, 
my husband Richard and I had four children, and I was blessed to be a “stay 
at home mom” most of their growing up years.  During that time, I spent many 
hours volunteering in the public schools which I enjoyed very much.
     I now live with my husband, Richard.  We have nine wonderful 
grandchildren, and we try to spend as much time as possible with each of 
them.
