About Dr. Kiehl

Dr. Kiehl started teaching in Howard County in 2001.  She is a Mt. Hebron graduate, and took Independent Research and Intern/Mentor in high school.  She taught Chemistry, Introduction to Chemistry and Physics, and AP Environmental Science for six years at Oakland Mills High School before transitioning to the G/T Resource Teacher position at Reservoir High School.  She was fortunate to replace the woman who was her G/T teacher in high school!  When the position became available at Mt.
