I teach Junior High math, science, geography and Spanish.  I earned a B.S. from the University of

Missouri - Columbia in 1990.  I earned a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Central

Methodist College in 2002.  Early in my work career, I was an office secretary at a printing company

and a Doctors office as well as an office Manager at a Radio Station.  I always had a nagging feeling

that I should follow my childhood desire of becoming a teacher.  So, in 1989, I enrolled at UMC.  I

aided at California Elementary and I completed my student teaching in Jefferson City.  I accepted a

contract to teach at Clarksburg in 1990.  I have not regretted my decision to complete my schooling. 

When a person enjoys their job, it doesn't seem like a lot of work!

I am married to Tony Bolinger and we have three children.  We have enjoyed watching them grow.

We always tried to attend school functions, believing that academics are the most important, but

sports, programs, and clubs help keep kids on the right track. 

can get to know the kids and staff!
