Ms. Kayla
My name is Kayla Kemp - Ms. Kayla - and I am excited to be your 3rd grade reading and science teacher this year! DES is a very special place to me because I attended school here kindergarten through 8th grade. I then graduated from Smith County High School followed by Tennessee Tech University. I am honored to begin my thirteenth year as a teacher here! In addition to teaching, I love Elvis Presley, my cats, and traveling. I am currently trying to travel to all 50 of the United States by the time I’m 50 years old. (I’ve traveled to 47 states so far.)
I am looking forward to getting to know you! Let’s make it an amazing year!
