Hello! My name is Katie Barnes. I am a North Carolina native - I was raised in New Bern, graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, and then moved to Wake County to begin my teaching career. My husband, Stu, and I live in Holly Springs with our three daughters, Sloane (13), Ashley (11), and Ellis (9).
My experience as an educator includes 15 years as a classroom teacher in 3rd and 4th grades and several additional years serving as a literacy specialist in Wake County. I enjoy supporting students as they explore their passions, build character strengths, develop as life-long learners, and establish a growth mindset.
When I am not teaching, I love to spend my time with my family and friends, read books, watch movies, exercise, and clear my mind with yoga.
