Hi! My name is Kimberly Forbes. I am a Technology Engineering Design Teacher at Ferndale Middle School in High Point, NC. I have been teaching for 8 years. Teaching is my second career. In my former life I worked as an Operations Manager for startup banks. I always wanted to teach but couldn’t because I didn’t have a degree. I received my BS in 2003 from Guilford College and so my teaching career began. It is my true passion!

I  am married and have 3 grown children. I am the proud grandmother of 4 – 1 girl and 3 boys. When I am not teaching or playing with grandchildren, I love to read, cook and garden.

I was very honored to be invited to the ribbon cutting of the Lenovo plant in Whitsett, NC on June 5, 2013. To see history in the making was pretty spectacular! The most amazing moment was when the Hayes-Taylor YMCA of Greensboro received new computers for their facility.You can see the boxes with the big red bow.  What an impact this will have on young people’s lives. Oh, and the image on the cake was so cool and it was delicious.
