Hello, parents and students! My name is Ms. Regina Smith, and I am thrilled to be a CTE teacher at Kearns Academy, where we focus on nurturing critical and innovative thinking in our rigorous computer science program.

I bring several years of experience teaching computer science and business courses in Guilford County. I have been honored as a High Point Extraordinary Educator and the PLTW National Outstanding Educator in Computer Science. Additionally, I was named Kearns Teacher of the Year for 2022-2023 and previously received the Teacher of the Year award at Jamestown Middle School.

As a National Board-Certified Teacher, I have over 25 years of experience in the business industry, including 15 years as an entrepreneur. I hold a B.S. in Business Studies from the University of Greensboro, a bachelor’s degree in Business Education and Marketing from East Carolina University, and a Master of Business Administration from Liberty University. I also have a Cybersecurity certificate from Forsyth Technical Community College and am currently pursuing a graduate certificate through the National Cybersecurity Teaching Academy.

My mission is to help students achieve their academic and career goals, preparing them for high-skilled, high-wage careers. I believe that with support and collaboration, our students can accomplish incredible things. I look forward to an exciting year ahead as we work together to ensure our students thrive!
