I will always remember how faculty meetings started at Pontchartrain Elementary. Dr. Wiseman played the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" song.
She has no worries now. It was a pleasure working with her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked withDr. Wiseman at Woodlake Elementary when she was our amazing Assistant Principal. Then I had the honor of working with with her as our Principal at Pontchartrain Elementary School. She was truly an amazing person inside and out! She will be remembered as the kindest, smartest, and most talented woman! I am definitely a better teacher because of her positive influence on me! I want to thank Dr.Wiseman for her outstanding leadership and creating an environment at PES where faculty and students could thrive and learn! Dr. Wiseman’s passion, dedication, and commitment made a positive impact on our school and community!
Her favorite song that she played often is , “Don’t Worry be Happy” and she always told us we were the best educators in the universe! She is absolutely the best principal in the universe!! I know she loved Mardi Gras and is now doing a second line! She will be missed so much! Praying for all of you!❤️💙🤍🙏🏻🦅
I send my sincere condolences to the Wiseman family. I had the privilege of working for Kathleen for several years. She made Pontchartrain Elementary a special place with her bubbly personality and sincere love of children. She was a “super, super, great” lady. Holly Krieger
She was my principal for one year when I was five years old and I think about her all the time. She’s the reason I minored in French and she’s still one of the only administrators that said hi to me by name. My friends and I don’t know our high school fight song or alma mater, but we sing the Pontchartrain songs all the time because we just loved being there. It’s been almost 20 years and she’s still changing my life. So much love to the family. Thank you for loving her <3
When I was 21 years old I had an interview for a para position at PES. Dr.Wiseman greeted me and I immediately felt at home. During the interview she kept telling me that she just knows I'm meant to be a teacher. Well, here I am a teacher now, and she played a big role in that. She believed in everyone and was such an uplifting person. I remember when I was overwhelmed she would encourage me to do yoga. I never did yoga but anytime some talks about it I remember her. I loved her morning meetings in the PES gym where she celebrated birthdays, taught French, and encouraged staff and students to be their best each day. Dr.Wiseman impacted so many lives, including mine, and I am forever grateful I got to work with her.
Dr Wiseman was my first boss 25 years ago-loved her infectious laugh which caught me off guard at my first faculty meeting-my favorite memory is her tap dancing in the gym during an assembly-she was the best -never got rattled even with some of the antics of our Swe students! The best boss II ever had and a really sweet lady! rest in peace
