My name is Carol Kelly and this will be my 30th year teaching and my 24th at Trinity. I have taught K, 1st, and 2nd grade and combinations of all three. Kindergarten is my favorite! I graduated from USF in 1985 (Go Bulls!) and received my Master’s Degree in Education with a concentration in reading from St. Leo University in 2012.

I am married and have two children. My husband John is a third-grade teacher at Starkey K8. My daughter Andrea is an FSU alum and a former teacher. She currently is managing Carbone Custom Homes along with her husband. My son Jake, is a UCF alum and works for BCI Construction as a Project Manager.

I have 6 grandchildren. My daughter and her husband have 3 sons, Chase age 7, ( Chase is in second grade right here at TES. Thomas age 5, is in kindergarten and Luke is 2 years old. My son and his wife have three boys, Oliver age 6 going into first grade in Hernando County, and Wesley who just turned two and Cole who is 4 months old. They all live locally so I get to have a lot of grandma time!

We love to go on road trips across the US and Canada.

I am looking forward to a great year as we partner together to help your child learn and grow.
They will “explore” many new things and blaze their own trail as a “Trinity Trailblazer”.
