Kelly Kanelos, pictured here with Principal Alexander , won A.C. Reynolds High School’s Teacher of the Year! She is the epitome of what your dream teacher would be. Kids flock to her class, even making time to stop by for a visit when they are not currently her student. She isn’t just coveted by students, fellow teachers love to spend time with her, but also look to her for her leadership & advocacy. She is the type of teacher that kids grow up to remember in all the best ways, learning not only classroom curriculum, but how to carry themselves out in the world. She is a bedrock teacher here at AC Reynolds High School, not only in her academic success, but also being involved in Student Council, Clubs, & so many events. If we didn’t know better, we would think she found a way to clone herself! Kelly Kanelos is near and dear to the ACRHS PTSA, as our Teacher Representative. She encourages other teachers & students alike to get involved in the school community & participate in ways easily forgotten in this busy world. This year she is responsible for teacher membership growth of 125% this year alone! Ms Kanelos will go on to compete in the county Teacher of the Year for Buncombe County Schools. Help us congratulate her on a job well done!
