About our Teacher of the Year Mrs. Kiaya Brooks
I was born in Fayetteville, NC and have lived in North Carolina since I was 5 years old. I left NC when I got married to live in Germany and Fort Benning, Georgia since my husband, Jordan, served in the Army. In 2016, I returned to North Carolina excited to begin my teaching career in my home state! I taught 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade over seven school years at West End Elementary then came to teach at Valle Crucis School in 2022. I have been lucky enough to teach 1st and 3rd graders here at Valle Crucis School over the last two school years.
My husband, Jordan, and I have been married for almost 15 years and we love our two amazing kids, Aurora and Collin. Aurora is a 7th grader and Collin is a 4th grader here at VCS and we enjoy coming to school together everyday. We are permanent residents in the High Country with our two pups, Willie and Ziggy, one guinea pig, Josie, one leopard gecko, Zym, and soon baby chicks! I love teaching students, working with the staff and coaching the girls of Heart & Sole at VCS. But most of all, I love to spend time with my family, enjoying our home and all the beauty of our mountains!
