Hi everyone! My name is Kiersten Campbell and this is my fifth year at Oakcrest! I am a special education english teacher and have mostly taught American Lit. I am excited to be teaching 2 new classes this year alongside my usual American Lit. Those classes are Literature of the Individual and Adventures in Literature. I am also a new Gamers Club Advisor this year. I graduated from the University of Delaware with an English degree, then went through the alternate route to get my teaching certification. Now I am going to school online for my special education certification and masters degree. I love to read and am willing to talk books with anyone anytime! Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
