My name is Baleigh Jordan and the 2024-2025 school year marks my third year teaching at KCIA! I received my BAs in History, Gender Studies, and English from Saint Louis University in 2019, and my MA in Teaching from UMKC in 2024. In my free time, I love to read, try new recipes, play video games, learn new languages, and hang out with my two cats: Cheeto and Frito. I was born here in KCMO and most of my family lives here, so I love that moving back to the city means I get to spend more time with them. This year, I’m looking forward to getting to know our new batch of 8th graders! I’m excited to be the assistant coach of the volleyball team, my first foray into coaching organized sports. Additionally, I’m honored to act as a co-director/advisor of the KCIA Theater Club, which is set to round out its third year with an all-star performance of Annie, Jr. What an adventure!
