Hi! I’m Katie Osmanski, and I’m honored to have been nominated for Teacher of the Year! This is my fifth year serving as a special education teacher in the Harrisburg School District. I am a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, and I lead the Tiger Success Center at North. My passion for education is fueled by working with our learners who struggle socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. I love working with students across all three grade levels and helping them build confidence as they develop the social and behavioral skills needed to navigate challenges, build independence, and thrive both in school and beyond.
