Mrs. Steele's Biography
Hi! My name is Kristi Steele. I am one of the 2 art teachers at Burnt Hickory. This is my 20th year teaching in Paulding County. I graduated from Oglethorpe University in 1996 with a Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education. I recieved my Masters in Early Childhood Education in 2004 from The State University of West Georgia. I just celebrated my 27th anniversary with my husband, James Steele. We have two sons - Tripp and Jacob. My oldest, Tripp, is a geography teacher at North Paulding High School. My younger son, Jacob, is a junior at Kennesaw State University majoring in Construction Engineering.
I am so very excited to be the one of the art teachers at Burnt Hickory. I have loved to draw, paint, and work with clay since I was a young child. I have taken numerous art classes at the college level, and am certified to teach art in grades K-12. I also love working with children. I want the children to develop a strong foundation in the arts, because I believe that art promotes creative thinking skills that the children can use in other school subjects and throughout life. I love that I get to see the children imagine, explore, discover, and create every day as they work on their art projects!
