About the Teacher

Welcome!
Hello! My name is Kelli Harris, and I am excited to be a part of the Blue Ridge High School community. This year, I will be co-teaching English 2 and Academic Seminar, and I look forward to working with students throughout the school year. 

I grew up in Western North Carolina and have called the Upstate home for the past 11 years. My husband and I have been married for 30 years, and we are the proud parents of three wonderful children. Our oldest son and daughter are Blue Ridge High School graduates, and our youngest is currently a senior here. Being both a parent and an educator at Blue Ridge makes this school community especially meaningful to me and my family. 

I earned my bachelor's degree in education from Columbia College. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading a good book, and exploring the beauty of the mountains.

I believe all students have the ability to succeed when they are provided with encouragement, support, and opportunities to grow. My goal is to create a positive and welcoming learning environment where students feel valued, develop confidence, and gain the skills needed for success in school and beyond.

I am looking forward to a wonderful school year and the opportunity to partner with students and families as we work together to make it a successful and rewarding year.
