• About Dr. Schmidt-Gardner

     

    Hello, Yoakley Families, 

    As a former middle and high school world language teacher, I have been fortunate to work with diverse groups of students, teachers, and families throughout KCS. In addition to my time in the classroom, I have also enjoyed serving as an advanced academics program coordinator and in various other leadership positions. I am thrilled to have joined the Richard Yoakley staff and look forward to meeting and working with you all. 

    Coincidentally, although I have called Tennessee "home" for many years (GO, VOLS!), I am originally from a small town just outside Cleveland, Ohio (Go, Buckeyes!).
