My name is Carol Kelly and this will be my 29th year teaching and my 23rd 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 5 grandchildren. My daughter and her husband have 3 sons, Chase age 6, ( Chase is in first grade right here at TES. Thomas age 4, will be here in our Pre-K program and Luke 16 months. My son and his wife have two boys, Oliver age 5, and Wesley who just turned one. 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. We just had a 6300 mile trip this summer and we named it “Our National Park” trip.

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”.
