My name is Kenya M. Wade and I am very excited to be joining the Northwest Cabarrus High School family as the new CTE Health Sciences teacher. 

You can quickly tell if we ever have a conversation that I am a local girl.  My accent gives it away. I graduated from South Rowan Senior High School a very long time ago, and was a member of the first freshman class to ever attend that school.  I went on to attend Rowan Cabarrus Community College, and graduated with my Associate's Degree in Nursing, followed by my Bachelor's Degree from Winston-Salem State University, and my Master's Degree from the University of South Alabama. 

I spent the greatest portion of my career as a bedside RN on the Pediatric Unit at Jeff Gordan Children's Hospital. I was employed at what is now Atrium Cabarrus for a total of 23 years. Most recently, I was honored to serve the children of our current and retired men and women of the military as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Dumfries Health Clinic in Virginia for the past three years.

I look forward to settling in and becoming a part of Trojan Nation.
