Dear WCA Families, 


We are excited to announce that Mrs. Carter Tierney will be joining the WCA Staff in an administrative position as Director of Academic Services and Student Activities. 

Mrs. Tierney is originally from Richmond, Virginia and has been in Charlotte for 17 years. Her background includes teaching middle school, high school, and community college levels. Most recently, Mrs. Tierney worked at The Fletcher School where she was an instructor as well as Grade Level Coordinator. Her expertise and experience equip her to support diverse learning styles and ensure success for students of all academic levels.


Mrs. Tierney is Orton-Gillingham Certified and can support diverse learning styles and individualized education of all types. 


Mrs. Tierney states that she is “particularly excited to return to the WCA community, a community close to her heart.” Her daughter attended WCA before graduating from Charlotte Latin, where her other two children also attended.  Mrs. Tierney and her husband are members of Weddington Methodist Church. 


In her personal time, Mrs. Tierney enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and caring for her dogs.  

 

I look forward to contributing to the Weddington Community and inspiring students in their educational journeys.” -Mrs. Tierney 


Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Tierney to the WCA Family.
