Noelle Smith is a passionate educator with a diverse background in teaching and leadership. With a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and a Minor in Religious Studies from Gardner-Webb University, she combines her educational expertise with a passion for fostering a positive and engaging learning environment for her students. Most recently, she taught 6th Level Humanities at CLA, where she was thrilled to encourage students with dynamic lessons in history, literature, grammar, and writing! Mrs. Smith’s journey in education began as a Preschool Teacher at a church in Stone Mountain, GA, where she developed and implemented lesson plans and effectively communicated with parents about their children’s progress. 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. Happily married for 16 years to her husband Jared, Mrs. Smith is also the parent of a 7th 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!
