Courtney Clark
ESL and Interventionist
I am a Raleigh native and a graduate of UNC (Elementary Education) and NCSU (Instructional Technology). My husband and I are parents to 4 daughters, two dogs, two cats and a constant rotation of foster animals. I've taught on and off in Wake County for almost 20 years and am happy to have spent many of those at Combs. All of my daughters have attended Combs and I know personally what a difference Leadership and the Habits can make in a child's life. My goal as a Blended Learning coach is to facilitate online learning in a way that supports the classroom experience while providing a personalized path to academic success.
