About Mrs. Esterline

My name is Kami Esterline and the 2013-2014 school year will mark my 13th year as a classroom teacher, and my 6th year teaching Kindergarten at Holly Springs Elementary. Before moving to North Carolina, I spent 1 year teaching 5th grade Juvenile detention, 2 years teaching 1st grade at Our Lady's Christian School in Erie, Pa, 1 year teaching 5th and 6th grades and 2 years teaching 2nd grade at Somerset Christian School (Somerset, Pa). I also spent 1 year at Holly Ridge teaching 2nd grade.

I attended Gannon University (Erie, Pa) and earned a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (1997), and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2007. I also earned my National Board Certification in 2011. I was the 2012 Holly Springs Elementary Teacher of the Year. I was also hanored to be chosen as a Wake County Teacher of the Year Semi-Finalist (2012).

When I am not at work, I love spending time with my husband Paul, and my 2 beautiful daughters, Abbie 12 and Ellie 10. Ellie will be in Ms. Crawford's 5th grade class at HSES and Abbie is in 7th grade at Holly Grove Middle School.

In my extra time I enjoy cake decorating, scrapbooking and reading.
