Molly Highland

JFHMS
English Teacher

After earning my undergraduate degree at William and Mary, I joined the RCPS family in 2010. I have taught English at both Elkton and Hillyard and after this year will have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. I am currently working on my Reading Specialist degree through UVA. Last year for me can be defined by trying new technologies with my students and starting new programs at Hillyard to spark interest in technology.
