Hello! My name is Mrs. Boland, and I am a teacher of English at Eastside High School. I am actually an alumna of Eastside myself, class of 2008, and a graduate of Winthrop University, magna cum laude, class of 2012. I studied English with a major concentration in Medieval Literature at Winthrop, as well as studying the Gothic and Modern Poetry at the University of Stirling, Scotland. I received my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2019 from Grand Canyon University.
I am the mother of a beautiful 9 year old daughter and 2 rather dog-like cats. My areas of personal interest include Gothic literature, Dystopian YAL, historical fiction, spoken word poetry, mythology, and the Fairy Tale. I am very much looking forward to teaching this year at Eastside! Go Eagles!
