Kat Allen

Katherine Allen was a Registered Dental Hygienist in Colorado until 2015, when she felt called to be more present for her children. After moving to Alabama in 2017 and visiting several schools, her family found Eastwood—a place she describes as a very unique and special community. Katherine is married to Mike, a retired Air Force veteran, and together they have three children: Reese (Eastwood Class of 2023), Emme (7th grade), and Jace (5th grade). She began working in aftercare at Eastwood, where the nickname “Mrs. Kat” affectionately stuck. When the school day was extended, she stepped into new roles, coordinating lunches and assisting in art. “I’ve truly loved being at the school with my own children and being able to encourage other students—often with a smile and a little humor to brighten their day.”
