My name is Kim Whaley.  I have always lived in Sevier County.  I attended Pittman Center Elementary and Gatlinburg-Pittman High School.  I also received my Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Tennessee.  After finishing school, I began teaching at New Center School in 2000.   I have been teaching 2nd grade here since then.  I have been married to my husband, Darren, since 1994.  We have three children:  Sara, Katie, and Jameson.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and teaching.
