Welcome to our IB Coordinator, Ms. Meehan!
"Fresh out of college as a NC Teaching Fellow, I joined Cabarrus County Schools in 1998 as a teacher at Central Cabarrus High School. My career led me through teaching English and Leadership classes for ten years. During this time I received a MA from UNC Charlotte in English Education, a MA from Wingate University in School Leadership and Administration, and National Board Certification. My experiences led me to the coordinator role as Graduation Project Coordinator for two years and then Freshman Academy Coordinator for seven years. Accepting the IB Coordinator role has provided the challenge and breadth of engagement that compliments my passions.
My husband, Dan, of ten years and I enjoy traveling and experiencing the thrills of life with our five year old son, Turner. Some of my claims to fame include the facts that I was detained in a New Zealand airport for unknowingly attempting to smuggle fruit flies into the country, and I have successfully hula hooped 37 hoops at one time!"
