Staff Profile
Kristen Ostendorf
Tchr - English/Language
2024-25 is my eleventh year at Highland Park Senior High and my thirty-second year as a teacher. Prior to coming to Highland Park, I was at Totino-Grace in Fridley, MN for eighteen years and at my alma mater, Immaculate Heart of Mary, in Chicago for three years.
I received my BA in Education, English from the University of Illinois and my MA from the University of St. Thomas. During my career I have taught all levels and most courses typically offered in an English curriculum. I love being part of the Highland community!
I teach English 10 and IB DP Language & Literature 12.
