Kellie's love for teaching started in childhood. A Cody native, she pursued her teaching dream at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South Dakota. In 1996, she graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Development. During her time at BHSU, Kellie served as the President of the Black Hills Association for the Education of Young Children. Following her undergraduate degree, she continued with Master's courses in Child Psychology.

Kellie met and married her husband, Bryan, of 20 years in the Black Hills. Together they have four amazing children, two sons and two daughters. The two youngest Edwards children are current Sacred Heart Students.

Having spent many years in the hospitality industry, Kellie's heart has always been in education. She has taught Preschool through High School students in various settings over the last 20 years. With most of her teaching experience in a parent cooperative environment, Kellie recognizes the importance of the parent's role in their child's education. At Sacred Heart, Kellie enjoys teaching with other parents as they work together to promote a life long love of learning in every child.
