Mrs. Kristal
My name is Kristal Smith. I am the Preschool teacher at Princeton Elementary. This is my eighth year at Princeton and I have been teaching preschoolers for 12 years! I have been blessed to be married for 20 years to my best friend. We have 3 children, Alden and Maddie (17 year old twins) and Emma (9). I love travel to new places, taking pictures and spending time with my family. We love the Tarheels and go to games whenever we can!

Updated COVID-19 Quarantine Guidance
There have been significant changes to the Strong Schools NC toolkit that affects the quarantine procedures our staff and students must follow if they are exposed to a positive case of COVID-19. Any student or staff member who is currently quarantined due to an exposure of a positive COVID-19 case may return to school or work tomorrow, unless the close contact is a housemate. We are able to make this adjustment because our district requires masks for all students, staff, and guests.
