Meet Mrs. Stoner

Hello, visitors. My name is Kelly Stoner, and this is my fourth year teaching sophomore and junior English at Capital High School. I previously taught English at Skyview High School in Billings and at Hardin Middle School in Hardin. The Helena community is definitely the most "teacher-friendly" area I have been, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching in the Helena school district. The community's support for education is incredible, and it makes my job much easier than it would be otherwise.

I have been married for 13 years. My husband works fulltime for the National Guard, which is what brought us to Helena from Billings, where I lived most of my life. I have an identical twin sister with whom I am very close, so leaving Billings was not easy at first. Over the last three years I have really come to enjoy the Helena area (getting a CostCo didn't hurt). My husband and I have two “kids” of the canine persuasion. Buster is our old guy. He is a 13-year-old mixed breed (the PC term for a mutt), and we have had him for 12 years. He is just about the best dog anyone could ever want, and watching him slow down with age has not been easy for me. My young one is Cleo. She is a two-year-old miniature pinscher, and we have had her since she was about 10 weeks old. She can be a bit of a handful, but she can also be the sweetest little dog in the world.

Since I am an English teacher, it is safe to assume that reading is something I thoroughly enjoy. Unfortunately, also because I am an English teacher, I do not get to read for pleasure nearly as much as I would like. I also enjoy sports, especially NASCAR and football, and working on my house. I am a bit of a home improvement nut, so I spend a lot of time during the summer months on various projects in the house and the yard.

I could bore you with details of the life of an English teacher, but I will do you a favor and leave it here. I hope this web site proves to be beneficial to all who visit it.
