Ms. Kiarra Webb-Coe

Hey y’all!! My name is Kiarra Webb-Coe, and I’m excited to start my first year of teaching with the JYJ team. Originally from Bunn, North Carolina, I’ve spent the past 6 years growing and studying at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. There, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education (2022), followed by a Master’s in Special Education and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Instructional Design (2024).

My teaching philosophy centers around fostering a supportive and engaging environment where every student can thrive. I believe in blending creativity with structured learning to make education both fun and impactful.

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my family and friends, traveling, cooking, or exploring new books. I also love finding ways to stay active and embracing new experiences.

I’m eager to support our students and help them achieve their full potential this school year. I’m also excited about working closely with families to support our students’ success. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead, filled with growth, learning, and endless possibilities!
