Welcome to Summa School. My name is Kathy Smith, and I am excited to work with your family. With over 14 years of experience in education, I absolutely love working with children, and my passion is helping students become the best and brightest. 

​

After obtaining a bachelor's degree in elementary education, I taught in the public school arena before returning to my alma mater to work with a professional development program in the College of Education. While there, I transitioned to a national service literacy program where I later became the state literacy specialist at the highest level of higher education. My most recent experiences include working with early childhood professionals and coaching public school teachers on the dynamics of online learning. 

 

As a summa cum laude graduate at both undergraduate and graduate levels, I value the ideal of academic excellence. I have these same aspirations for all Summa School students as I motivate them to become the best and brightest.
