Mrs. Kelly Fuchs - Principal

It is an honor to serve as principal of this incredible school and be a part of the Coal Mountain and North United community. At Coal Mountain Elementary, we believe every child deserves to feel connected, challenged, supported, and inspired each day. Our dedicated Teachers and staff works together to create a positive learning environment where students grow academically, socially, and emotionally while developing the confidence and skills needed for future success.

Throughout my career in education, I have had the privilege of serving students and families in a variety of roles, including classroom teacher, instructional coach, technology specialist, assistant principal, and principal. These experiences have reinforced my belief that strong relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to continuous growth are the foundation of a thriving school community.

One of the things I love most about Coal Mountain is the strong partnership between our staff, families, and community. Together, we create meaningful opportunities for students to learn, lead, and shine. I am grateful to be part of a school where people genuinely care for one another and work collaboratively to ensure every student is successful.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Erik, and our two sons, Jackson and Nathaniel. Whether we are cheering from the sidelines at a soccer game, exploring the outdoors with our dog Rosie, or taking a family road trip, I treasure opportunities to make memories together.

Thank you for visiting our website. I invite you to explore all that Coal Mountain Elementary has to offer and learn more about the amazing students, staff, and families who make our school such a special place.

Together We Shine!

My name is Haley Sterritt and I love being on The Mountain! I come from a family of educators and have been in education since 2014. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Georgia State University with a dual major in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. In 2026, I earned my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Teacher Leadership along with a coaching endorsement from Kennesaw State University.

My husband, Andrew, and I live in North Forsyth with our kids, Mason and Addison, and we love being part of this community. Outside of school, you can usually find me spending time with family and friends, at the ballpark, or working on a DIY project of some sort! My own experiences as a student inspired me to become an educator, and I am passionate about offering the same support and encouragement to our students, teachers, and families. I am so excited for another wonderful year on The Mountain!
