Ms. Mia Pollard

I am so thankful to be beginning my career as an educator at Polenta Elementary! I grew up in Johnston County and I am a product of Johnston County Public Schools. I attended North Johnston High School and graduated in 2015. After high school, I moved to Greenville and graduated in May of 2019 from East Carolina University (Go Pirates!) with my degree in Special Education - Adapted Curriculum.

When I'm not in the classroom, you can probably find me in the dollar section of Target, or hanging out with my two rescue pups Genghis and Winry.

I hope to make our classroom an engaging, safe, accessible space for our students and I can't wait to see what this year holds!

A Commitment to Solidarity, Peace, and Acceptance

Johnston County Public Schools is in the business of providing a holistic educational experience that affirms and prepares our students for successful lives by teaching not only academic disciplines but how to treat one another. We are aware of recent social media posts and other unacceptable actions that have brought attention to racial and political insensitivity, which this school district does not condone.
