My name is Katherine Joyal, and I am so excited to begin my first year of teaching! I graduated from UNC in May with a Master’s degree in Special Education after spending the past six years working in the field as a paraprofessional. I am also entering my fifth year coaching high school girls basketball at Timnath.

When I’m not at school or on the basketball court, I love spending time outdoors hiking and camping with my fiancé and our dog. I also love to read and am always looking for my next good book!
