Kelti Baker
Co-Founder & Chair
Kelti Baker is co-founder of Exceeding Excellence Education Foundation (EEEF), a non-profit dedicated to supporting parents as they navigate their children's educational choices. She has successfully created and run a micro-school and is active in assisting educational reform in the Idaho legislature.
An NAIA athlete in college and daughter of a former NFL football player and coach, the mother to 4 active boys credits her upbringing in the gym and weight room for her vision for Idaho Sports Academy as a place to host quality education, hand-in-hand with building character and leadership qualities.
Her continued vision of an educational system that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and growth is infused in the organizations she co-founded. Kelti firmly believes all education should be student-centered and not micro-driven by programs or policies. She believes the qualities infused by the Idaho Sports Academy will benefit Idaho athletes as they continue on their desired life paths.

She also has a BS in Nursing from Idaho State University through the accelerated nursing program in Meridian.
