Hello! My name is Kaitie Collingwood and I'm so excited to be in my second year as an Innovation Academy Pioneer!

I am originally from Findlay, Ohio. I attended Findlay High School before moving to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!), where I received my Bachelor's degree in English and my Master's degree in Education. I taught high school English for three years before relocating to North Carolina to be closer to my family.

This is my 7th year in education and I'm so excited to share my passion for reading and writing with my students! In addition to teaching English/Language Arts, I enjoy spending time with my family and my cats. I love music, books, food, spending time outdoors, and video games, as well. The Legend of Zelda is my favorite series!

Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
