About Me

My name is Kirby Welsh, and I have been a teacher at Calabasas High School since 2014. Before joining the Coyote family, I taught at Santa Barbara High School, Chaminade College Prep, and Westwood Secondary School in Singapore! 

I received my Bachelors degree in Biological Sciences and my Masters degree in Education both from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I love spending time with family and friends, exploring the great outdoors, and singing!!!
