Southeastern would love to welcome Kimberlee Bearden to the team!
A message from Mrs. Bearden:
"Hi! My name is Kimberlee Bearden, and I am thrilled to join Southeastern School as a kindergarten teacher for the 2026–2027 school year!
My husband, Ross, and I have been married for three years. We have an almost one-year-old son, Beckett, and are excited to welcome our second son, Cooper, this December. We also have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Pippa, who definitely believes she’s in charge!
Ross is also an educator in the Blount County School System, where he teaches English at Susan Moore High School.
The 2026–2027 school year marks my seventh year in education. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching Pre-K, kindergarten, second grade, and third grade. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from the University of West Alabama.
Kindergarten has always held a special place in my heart, and I am so excited to be back in the classroom with our youngest learners. I love creating a bright, engaging, and welcoming environment where children feel loved, encouraged, and excited to learn. I can’t wait to begin this new adventure with the amazing students and families at Southeastern!"
