Megan Shaw is a Corbett K-2 teacher who was raised in Corbett since birth with her parents and twin brothers, who are 13 months younger than her. Megan's parents are still married and living in Corbett. Megan spent her childhood in the area of Latourell Falls and graduated from Corbett High in 1996. A main focus for Megan growing up was working at her mom's produce market on Powell Blvd. Megan started at age 12 to work and save for college. Her life was filled with friends, family and work. After graduation, Megan attended Mt. Hood Community College for two years and then transferred to Portland State Univ. for two years, majoring in Social Science. After school, Megan traveled for a year along the East Coast as a nanny. Upon her return, Megan went back to PSU to get her Master's Degree in Education. Her teaching career began with jobs as a substitute teacher around the East County Area. In 2005, Megan was hired at Corbett Grade School and has been there ever since. When she received the job opportunity call from Penny Jordan on April 1st, she was hoping it was NOT a joke! Megan has been married for 11 years to Chris Shaw, whom she met in Corbett. They dated for three years before marrying, and now have two children together- Ethan, age 6 and Ellie, age 4. Currently living in Troutdale, their goal is to sell their home in the spring and purchase in Corbett! Megan loves the outdoors- especially hiking with close friends. She also loves baking cookies with her children. Chris is a chef at Multnomah Falls, so she is happy to let him share in making meals. :) One of the greatest joys for Megan is seeing her students smile with joy when things "click" for them in the classroom. Bubbling with joy, Megan says she has a very "blessed" life and tries never to take that for granted.
