Hello! My name is Erin Spickard.  I am excited to be teaching Upper School Reading this year.   I have had the opportunity to teach high school and elementary school over the past 13 years.  I’m excited to return to high school this year and especially to be a reading instructor.  The themes within literature have so many real-world applications, and the life lessons learned extend far outside the classroom.  My favorite aspect of teaching is partnering with students as we learn and grow together, and empowering them to pursue their interests as they pursue an education that prepares them for the  future.
