Hello Families!

My name is Jessica Walsh. I am so excited to be back teaching second grade at Town Creek Elementary School this year! This will be my third year at TCES.  I began working at TCES in January of 2024 as a second grade teacher and love being on this team and at this school! Last year I was honored to be appointed the second grade grade chair and am excited to help lead our second grade team again this year!

I grew up in a small town in north west New Jersey with my parents and older brother.  I lived there until I was 18 when my family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio (where my mom is from).  I attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio for four years where I received my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education with Latin Honors.  I graduated from Miami University in 2016.

This will be my tenth year in education! I started teaching in August of 2016 as a kindergarten teacher at Success Academy in South Bend, Indiana. I taught kindergarten for two years and  looped with my second class to first grade.  After my three years of teaching in South Bend I moved back to Cincinnati where I was a long term English as a Second Language (ESL) sub for half the year. I finished out that school year as a first grade teacher at Winton Woods South Campus in Cincinnati.  After that year I was moved to second grade. I taught second grade for three years at that school. My last year at Winton Woods I Co-Taught second grade with another teacher and focused exclusively on reading instruction.  

My family moved to North Carolina in June of 2023. My 3 year old daughter, Rylee, and I love living by the coast! We enjoy going to the beach, boating, and doing anything that involves being outside and water.  

I am so excited to be back at TCES this year! We have a lot of learning, growing, and fun to have this year and I can't wait to share this journey with you and your children!!
