Hi! My name is Brooke Waters and I'm one of the special education teachers here at West Buncombe! I'm originally from Gaston, South Carolina. The 2020-2021 school year will be my fourth year teaching!

I graduated from Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 2017 with a B.A. in Deaf Education. While attending Converse I received certifications in Elementary Education and Learning Disabilities. Since moving to North Carolina I have also added the Emotional/Behavioral certification and Intellectual Disabilities certification to my teaching license. June 2020 I graduated with a Master of Education degree in Early Childhood/Early Childhood Special Education from Grand Canyon University. I have been accepted as a recipient for the Roads to Learning and Earning Grant. I will be attending Western Carolina University for an advanced Master's degree in Severe/Profound Disabilities. I'm set to graduate in December 2021!

I love teaching and have always wanted to be a teacher. In my room we celebrate all of our successes and never lower our expectations for success. I look forward to another wonderful year at "Best" Buncombe and I can't wait to see our progress!
