Mrs. Samantha Cates
Hello, my name is Samantha Cates, & I have been teaching for 9 years. I have served in Prosper since 2015 & have taught AP World History, World History, 8th grade U.S. History, and served as the Current Events & Social Studies UIL Academic coach for PHS from 2016-2018. I am coming back to the classroom this year after serving as an Instructional Coach for Prosper ISD since 2018 because I missed seeing & serving kids every day so I'm beyond excited to serve as a teacher.
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education-Social Studies from Oklahoma State University and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M-Commerce. I have a son, Maverick, who is 1 with my husband, Josh, who is a firefighter for the Plano Fire Department. My favorite hobby currently is photography when I am outside of school.
