Keitora Smith

Welcome to First Grade!

Hello and welcome! I’m thrilled to be your child’s First Grade teacher this year at DES. As a proud native of Harnett County, I graduated from Fayetteville State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration. This marks my fourth year at DES and my second year teaching First Grade.

Teaching is truly my passion, and I’m dedicated to fostering a love of learning in every student. I believe in helping children reach their fullest potential through encouragement, creativity, and a supportive classroom environment.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading a good book, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.

I’m looking forward to an exciting and successful year filled with growth, exploration, and achievement. Let’s make this a fantastic year in First Grade together!
