Kathy Hadel-Racy has spent her career serving children and developing
educational programming. She is excited to bring her professional
experience to serve the TeamSmile mission.
Kathy started her career in the Olathe District Schools as an elementary
teacher for 10 years. She was part of a leadership team
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School.
After moving to Indiana, she stayed home to raise their 3 boys while being
a substitute teacher and school board member. Following her return to
Missouri, she served as a faculty member at the University of Central
Missouri and focused her work on mentoring and supervising student
teachers.
During the 8 years before starting at TeamSmile, Kathy was the Assistant
Principal at a Kindergarten-8th grade school in North KC.
Kathy has a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Avila
University and a master’s degree in elementary school administration from

warm weather activities and spending time with her husband, Mike, their
family, and her very special goldendoodle, Autumn!
