It’s amazing to see the growth and transformation,” she said.

The couple brings a wealth of experience to the endeavor and is eager to welcome students from across Wake County. “We want our Bach to Rock school to be a place that everyone enjoys, and it becomes a community centerpiece,” said Kelly.
