My name is Katie Bailey and I am so excited to be joining the Kelly Mill family. This will be my 11th year as an educator. I received my Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University and have spent the last 10 years teaching ESOL in Fulton County.
Prior to teaching I received degrees in International Business and Spanish from the University of Tulsa and spent 10 years in the sales industry. I am a resident of Forsyth county and my husband and I have 4 kids ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old.
My goal is to make sure my students love coming to school each day. I look forward to a great year and can't wait to meet all of our fourth grade DLI students.
