Mrs. Boyle

I grew up in the Chicago area. I earned my Secondary Mathematics Education degree at University of Illinois. After teaching junior high and high school math at some very large schools, my husband and I decided to move to Beaver Island. His family is from the Island. He spent all his summers living here, and we both spent a lot of time visiting his parents here and vacationing -- during all the seasons -- even the winter! We thought it would be a beautiful and fun place to live, and a great place for children. (25+ years later and we still love it!)

I started working at BICS as the Chapter I Aide and started our school's first volleyball team that year. In the following years I added 7-12 math, college math, K-12 phys ed, computers and Spanish, BEST (Business Education, Services & Technology) class, Exploratory, etc. to the classes I taught. I also started our National Honor Society chapter.

While our daughter, Caitlin, was young, I went "back to school" and earned my Master's Degree in Technology in Curriculum & Instruction at

Michigan State University. I later became our school's Lead Technology Teacher. I also coordinated the Learner Support program, matching students with community mentors.

I truly enjoy teaching, we have GREAT students at BICS and

I really DO believe that math is fun!
