Hi! I'm Kristen Larsen. 
I became a teacher because I love to learn and have remained a teacher because it's such an unpredictable, fast-paced, challenging and FUN job!  I am happy to be part of the vibrant community that is public education.  The 2015-16 school year marks my 10th year at Sanderson High School, part of the Wake County Public School System in North Carolina.  Outside of school, I enjoy playing the cello, being outdoors, cooking and spending time with my family. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  I look forward to getting to know you and your families throughout the school year!
