Kelly McNamara graduated from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon with a BA in Sociology. She spent 17 years working with at-risk kids, including 10 with the Deschutes County Juvenile Department. Kelly's experience there ranged from probation officer to supervisor and program manager. Kelly took four years off to be a full-time mother and is now working part-time as the administrative assistant at Cascades Academy. "I find it exciting to have been part of a school from the beginning. It's fun to see it continue to grow both in curriculum excellence and number of students. I believe in what they are doing for students, and I get the added bonus of seeing my own children excel here."
In her free time, Kelly spends time her family. She loves to read and stay in shape doing anything in the outdoors.
