Meet the Teacher

Mrs. Jessica Rich

Mrs. Jessica Rich

Greetings! My name is Jessica Rich.  This is my fourth year teaching at Highland Elementary School. Prior to moving to North Carolina, I worked in the Special Education field and provided teaching and related services to children with Autism for a decade. I am originally from Central Pennsylvania and graduated from Shippensburg University.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our four children, and our pets. I also enjoy running, reading, soaping, and drinking iced coffee!

I’m excited to get to know your child! It is important that we all work together as a team in order to help your child reach their greatest academic, social, and emotional potential. If you have any questions, please reach out and call at 919-499-2200.  You may leave a message and I will return your phone call as soon as possible.  We can also make an appointment to meet before or after school.  

If you prefer electronic correspondence, I can be reached via email or Classroom Dojo:
