Physical Education - Kathy Carr

kcarr2@k12tn.net

   I came to Smith County in the fall of 2008 to teach physical education for Defeated Elementary and Forks River Elementary.  My time is split between the two schools.  I also coach basketball for the Bulldogs of Forks River Elementary.

     I grew up in the community of Allons, Tennessee and attended Allons Elementary School in Overton County.  I completed my high school education at Livingston Academy and graduated from Tennessee Technological University with a B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education K-12 in 1984.  While at Tennessee Tech, I was a member of the majorette team "The Golden Girls" for three years and played on the first softball team which started as a club sport before becoming a full collegiate sport.  Upon graduation, I worked in the medical field for approximately sixteen years at Cookeville Regional Medical Center and Livingston Regional Hospital. As the state department made physical education mandatory several years ago, that opened up physical education jobs all over the state and it was at that point that I began my teaching career.   I taught physical education and coached girls basketball at Allons Elementary School for six years before coming to Smith County.

     My husband is Tommy Carr and we have three children Chelsea 21, Ariel 19, and Beau 17.  Chelsea is a junior at Tennessee Tech University majoring in English, Ariel enters TTU this fall as well majoring in Physical Education, and Beau attends Smith County High School where he plays football and basketball for the Owls.

You can reach me during my planning time Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8:00 - 8:30.
