My name is Kasia Dukes and I am excited about being your child’s first grade teacher. I am a graduate of the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. This is my fifth year teaching at Legacy Elementary. I chose teaching as a career because I want to share my experiences and give back to the community and country that has given me so many opportunities to succeed. With my rich culture and perspective, I believe that I can contribute great things to my lessons.  Teaching is my passion, and I absolutely love what I do! I am excited about this upcoming school year and I look forward to this adventure. Let’s have a wonderful year!

I was born and raised in Poznan, Poland. I moved to the United States at the age of 19. While working and studying English, I met my husband, Kelby. Ten years ago, we moved to Huntsville from Marietta, Georgia. We fell in love with the Harvest area and cannot imagine living anywhere else. We have a beautiful five-year-old boy named Mateo who is starting Second Grade this year, and a precious four-year-old girl, Ellyana.  Other members of my family include two dogs: a Basset Hound named Ela, and a Coonhound/Lab mix named Teddy. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and, cross-fit.
