Principal |
Kristy Keller |
| Ms. Kristy Keller, Canarelli Middle School’s principal began her teaching career in Albuquerque, New Mexico as a self-contained instructor for adolescents with emotional disturbance. In 1987 she moved to Clark County where she taught SEC at Eldorado High School for three years. She then became the Special Education Facilitator at Bonanza High School from 1991-1994. In the fall of 1994, she was promoted to Dean of Students at Cimarron-Memorial High School. In December of 1996, she was promoted to the position of assistant principal at Roy Martin Middle School where she spent a year and one half before becoming assistant to the superintendent of what was then the Secondary Education Division of Curriculum & Instruction. In December of 2000, Ms. Keller became the principal of Walter Johnson Junior High School where she served as principal for three years until receiving the honor of opening Lawrence & Heidi Canarelli Middle School. Ms. Keller’s philosophy can best be described as a belief that we educate because we have the opportunity to shape the lives of human beings. She believes in the “connection” between teacher and child and knows there is no greater influence relative to student achievement. Ms. Keller is a people person, but can also be found replenishing her soul on the back of a 17-hand horse named Déjà vu. She is married to her best friend Greg who works in the nuclear industry and is also a lover of horses and golf. |
