Mrs. Kara Leitza
I have been with District 34 since 2002 and began at Hillcrest Elementary School. During the 2014-2015 school year, I split my time between Hillcrest and Antioch Elementary School and the following year decided to work full time at Antioch Elementary School. During the 2019-2020 school year, I returned full time at Hillcrest! Prior to working in District 34, I was a teacher at Peppermint Stick Pre-School and also worked as a Prevention Specialist with Nicasa.
I am a lifelong resident of Antioch and enjoy working in this community! My husband Mike is a physical therapist and works in Antioch as well. We are the proud parents of three amazing (and busy) kids - our oldest (son) is a senior at NYU, our middle (son) is a sophmore at UIUC, and our youngest (daughter) is a senior at Antioch Community High School.
