Noelle Smith

Noelle Smith is excited to be returning for her fourth year at CLA! She has a diverse background in teaching and leadership, which she is passionate about using to encourage students to model the servant leadership of Jesus Christ. With a Bachelor of Arts from Gardner-Webb University, she loves fostering a positive and engaging learning environment for her students. Mrs. Smith’s career in education began as a Preschool Teacher in Stone Mountain, GA. Following that, she served for three years as the Children’s Director and Ministry Manager at a church in Atlanta, where she led ministry events, managed a team of volunteers, and developed inclusive programs for children with special needs. More recently, she has taught 6th Level Humanities at CLA for the past 3 years, where she has been thrilled to encourage students in their leadership development while also exploring the wonders of history, literature, grammar, and writing!  Happily married for 18 years to her husband, Jared, Mrs. Smith is also the parent of a 9th Level student who attends CLA. She enjoys outdoor adventures with her husband and son, walks with friends, reading engaging books, and good coffee. Mrs. Smith has loved inspiring and supporting both students and teams in the past and is excited to develop leaders who model Christ as she serves at CLA!
