Alyssa Botros, CCR Teacher

I am so excited to continue my educational career with the bulldog family for the 2024-2025 school year! I am in native of New York City and moved to Raleigh in the summer of 2014. I have taught with the Wake County School System for the past 10 years as a resource room special education teacher. I absolutely love working with this population of students and helping them succeed to be the best version of themselves! My greatest joy is being a mom to my wonderful boys, Hartwell (6) and Hudson(4). Hartwell will also be a bulldog in first grade this year! In our spare time, we love going for walks with our dog (Bella), swimming, and visiting family up north. I look forward to collaborating with families and supporting students’ educational and social growth this school year.

Katherine Harley, CCR Teacher

Hello Bulldogs!  I am a North Carolina native, born and raised in Gray’s Creek, a small town south of Fayetteville.  I moved to Raleigh for college and never left!  I graduated from NC State with a BS degree in Animal Science.  I managed a research lab for 15 years, then decided to change careers after becoming a mom.  I got experience as a preschool teacher and a CCR Instructional Assistant, before jumping into the CCR teaching position last year.  When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, crafting, and watching NCSU sports = Go Pack! 

I believe we are all a team to help not only the students grow, but also help our families glean knowledge from what we do with their children. Education is better served in partnership.  I am looking forward to joining the Bulldog family!

Sue Smith, ECS Instructional Assistant

Greetings Wonderful York Families!

My name is Susan Kohl Smith…but everyone calls me “Ms. Sue”. I taught at York with Arts in Action long ago! My first love was dance! My 1st grade teacher Miss Jenkins had a record player and she played Aretha Franklin/Tina Turner! I had never heard music like that before and was hooked! When my Dad left the military, we moved to South Jersey, close to Philly. Our small town was called Pitman. After Pitman, I moved to Connecticut and opened Miss Sue's Hot Tots Performing Arts Preschool in Madison, Connecticut. We moved to Raleigh in 1999 and have been here ever since. I have 3 grown children, 2 grandsons and #3 coming at the end of August!
