This 2023-2024 school year will be my 18th year of teaching. I have taught Kindergarten for 16 years. I am a National Board Certified Teacher and have an MEd in Language and Literacy. I am married to my high school "sweetheart" and have two children that attend Lexrich5 schools. I believe that all children come with gifts and abilities that give meaning to our learning community. It is a gift to be a part of the Leaphart family and I look forward to continuing to grow the beautiful minds that enter our doors each day. 

Hello, My name is Kim McCarthy. I am the Assistant to Ashley O'Neal in 5-K. I look forward to meeting the new Kindergartners and being a positive role model in their lives every year.
