Mrs. Kristy Wheeler
I am a 2005 graduate of North Johnston High School, a 2008 graduate of North Carolina State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Horticultural Sciences, and a 2012 graduate of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University with a Master's in Agricultural Education.
My husband and I have been married since 2012 and have two sons, Clifton and Stephen.
I began teaching at NJHS in August of 2009. I offer various courses including - Agriscience Applications, Animal Science I, Animal Science II, Animal Science II-small animals, and Biotechnology and Agriscience Research. Animal Science II and Small Animals, as well as biotechnology are all offered as honors courses as well.
I am also one of the three FFA advisors here at NJHS. We have roughly 120-170 members each year. I love teaching the importance of agriculture to our students. North Carolina has a diverse agricultural field and it's important that all of our students understand why agriculture is a necessary field. Through the FFA I have had the chance to see many young people mature into outstanding young adults.
If you have questions or concerns please feel free to email me at anytime. Kristinawheeler@johnston.k12.nc.us

North Carolina schools are required to administer ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 to all students identified as English Learners (ELs) in the spring of each year to determine their progress in learning English.
