Hello! My name is Kelly Hill. This will be my 9th year of teaching Kindergarten at HES and my 17th year of teaching overall. I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from the University of Maryland and my masters degree in Reading Education from Johns Hopkins University. This year, I am working toward becoming a National Board Certified Teacher.
Prior to moving to North Carolina in 2015, I grew up and lived in the DC area. I have three children: Leighton (11th grade), Jade (9th grade), & Owen (8th grade). We have 3 sweet rescue cats named Neo, Mochi, & Lola. When we're able, we love to foster kittens with a local rescue called Cats of Davidson. I also have an adorable hamster named Willow who lives in our classroom!
my family, kittens, the color blue, the lake, reading, movies, photography, the beach, making kids laugh, sunsets, coffee, soccer, puzzles, chocolate, & helping kids to fall in love with learning!
