Kevin Ray joined the Franklin staff in the fall of 2021, beginning as a substitute teacher and Beyond the Bell Counselor. Since becoming the middle school and 9th grade PE teacher, he tries to instill in students a passion for exercise, healthy choices, and cooperative learning. Learning to work together and express joy through physical activities are invaluable lessons, and Kevin hopes every child experiences these while at the Franklin School of Innovation.
Before moving to Asheville, Kevin studied and worked in Charleston for over ten years. He received a Bachelor of Arts in English/Creative Writing from the College of Charleston, where he was also involved in literary journals and soccer clubs, two of his passions. He also enjoys hiking, live music, and long road trips across the country.
