Ms. Lillian D. Loftin-Bell - 1st Grade Teacher

Hi, I'm Ms. Loftin-Bell, two-time recipient for Teacher of the Year and 1st Grade Teacher at Northside. My educational background had its beginnings in Efland, NC where I was born and raised. After graduating from Orange High School in Hillsborough, NC, I attended undergrad at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Educational Psychology, and later, my NC Teacher's License in K-6 Elementary Education. In addition, I hold a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Reading from Grand Canyon University.

To add, I have three wonderful daughters, Kismet, Lauren, and Azariah, as well as a grandson, Kenan. Education is a family affair for us as my daughters and I have all served as teachers and/or educators in the K-12 system and within Higher Ed. Altogether, I have been teaching for over 14 years in the public school system, and even more, within private schools.
