Hey y'all! My name is Maddie Kirkman and I am so excited to be back as a part of the Eastside faculty this year!

I am originally from Greensboro, North Carolina, but I have been a resident of the Upstate for the last five years. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education and History from the greatest school in the nation, Clemson University (Go Tigers!). This is my second year as a social studies teacher at Eastside. I also am a coach for our Varsity Swim team. 

In my spare time, I like to play (and watch) sports, bake, read, and hang out with my friends. I am an avid Pickleball lover and I sponsor our school's Pickleball Club. I love to talk about all things reality T.V., college sports, and Taylor Swift, so stop in my room any time to chat! Can't wait to meet you all!
