Kate Wells began her classroom teaching career at Tunstall Middle school in the fall of 2006, but she has been a teacher at heart for most of her life.  She earned her bachelor’s degree in English from Appalachian State University and then continued at ASU to earn her master’s degree in Reading Education.  Over the years, Mrs. Wells has taught students from age 2 to 62, but sixth grade seems to be just the right fit.  Mrs. Wells also serves as co-sponsor of the Tunstall Middle School Jr. Beta Club. 

On a personal note, Kate has been married to Pittsylvania county native and Tunstall High graduate, Mike Wells, for 15 years.  They have three children.  Curtis is a freshman at Tunstall High. Grant is in the seventh grade at Tunstall Middle, and Maggie is finishing fifth grade at Twin Springs Elementary.  Mrs. Wells is an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church.  On weekends, you will often find Mrs. Wells sitting on the sidelines of a soccer game, cheering for one of her children. 

Kate would like to thank her coworkers at TMS for nominating her.  She feels fortunate to be part of the TMS family, and to work with such supportive administrators, faculty, and staff members. TMS is truly fortunate to have Mrs. Wells as part of our faculty.
