About Me

          Kelly Coats is from Smithfield, NC where she lives with her husband and four girls. She has been at Greenfield since 2012 and has had the unique experience of seeing her two girls graduate from the school. Kelly graduated from Meredith College, taught in the Johnston County School system for over 14 years, and has experience teaching first, second, and third grades. She has been a mentor to new teachers and taught in the Academically Gifted program. She took a break from teaching for several years to begin Hillcrest Farms, a horse boarding and training facility in Smithfield. 2022 was her first year working at Greenfield and is looking forward to teaching second grade this year!
