Kelly leads in the Baltimore community

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign. Your donations support Kelly, an elementary and middle school principal in Baltimore, Maryland.

Kelly’s move to Baltimore in 2006 made her see that she had to take her leadership to the next level to serve students in need. While she had always been an ambitious leader, she knew it was time to step up and lead in the Baltimore community.

Prior to moving to Baltimore, Kelly taught 4th grade in Ocean City, New Jersey for five years. Most recently, Kelly served as math education associate and dean of students at an elementary school in Baltimore under the leadership of two other New Leaders. She found a wealth of knowledge and support during this time, and both of her New Leader mentors were able to help her develop her leadership skills as part of the Emerging Leaders Program. She also led a team to almost triple the Kindergarten benchmark scores from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year.

Kelly is grateful to be a New Leaders. She says: “I feel like I am a part of something huge, and I know that New Leaders will be a part of transformational leadership for years to come.”

Thank you all for taking the steps to support our children’s education in Baltimore, Maryland through Kelly and New Leaders.
