Hello!

My name is Catherine Perinjelil and this will be my first year at Ridge Point High School. I have taught chemistry for 3 years at William B. Travis High School and did my student teaching at Hightower High School, so one could say that I've been around "The Bend". I graduated from the University of Houston with a B.S. in Biology, a minor in Chemistry, and a science teaching certificate. Outside the classroom, I am recharging with friends and family. My hobbies include being an obnoxious foodie (the one that posts every cheese-pull on social media), church, and solving a majority of the New York Times' word games. I also shamelessly enjoy horror movies, rom-coms, and anime. 

Above all else, I am passionate about what I do for a living and hope to make a difference in the lives of everyone I am blessed to encounter. I cannot wait to meet all my students and look forward to learning and growing together for the 2024-2025 school year! Go Panthers!
