Dr. Kimberly Kelly - 8th Grade Counselor, Testing Coordinator

I retired from the Air Force having served four and a half years active duty and 19 years in the Air Force Reserves.  I have been fortunate to serve, deploy, and train with some of the very best Airmen.  I have over 20 years in education, serving as a high school teacher, high school counselor, middle school counselor, high school administrator, and a very brief stint as an elementary school counselor.  With 14 years’ experience at the middle level, it is my favorite!  I have earned a bachelor degree in education (Abilene Christian), master’s degree in school counseling (Midwestern State) and school leadership (Furman University).  My educational specialist degree is in educational leadership and I recently obtained my doctorate degree (Liberty University) in curriculum and instruction.  I am fortunate to be the mother of two adult children who are wonderful human beings.  I consider it a blessing and an honor to serve the Yokosuka Middle School community.
