Hi! I'm Carly Barnette, Account Manager for Education Partnerships at Out Teach. I joined the team in 2024, where I oversee school and district partnerships, ensuring each one gets the customized support they need to thrive. I'm passionate about creating inclusive environments for students and providing them with unique, cross-curricular outdoor experiences that make learning an adventure.
I earned my bachelor’s in elementary education from UNC Charlotte, then went on to complete my master’s in executive leadership studies at Gardner Webb University, along with my principal licensure. Before joining Out Teach, I spent many rewarding years in the North Carolina Public Schools as a classroom teacher and instructional coach. My work centered around engaging students in a rigorous curriculum and mentoring teachers through professional development and relationship building. Later, as a Partner Success Manager for an Ed Tech company, I partnered with district leaders across the country, setting and tracking goals to support their growth.
Supporting others to reach their full potential is my calling, and I’m grateful for the chance to be part of someone’s success story, personally and professionally.
Outside of work, I'm with my family – my two boys, Jase and Slade, my husband, Jason, and our pup, Dolly! I’m a music lover and enjoy singing or playing guitar for my kids whenever I can. Weekends usually find us exploring our family land, and when I’m on vacation, you can bet I’m at the North Carolina coast!
