Meet the First Grade Teachers

Jenn Doyle

I grew up in the Hereford Zone attending all BCPS schools. I graduated from Frostburg University with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and earned a Master’s in Reading from Towson University.  I have been teaching since 2004. I taught kindergarten for 16 years and am currently teaching first grade. I am married and have two boys.

Interesting Facts about myself: My family lives on a Christmas tree farm. I lived in a tent for 2 months and traveled to over 30 National Parks in the United States and Canada. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends outdoors, gardening, camping, hiking, campfires, finding waterfalls, traveling, going to the beach, and am a BIG Ravens fan. I look forward to working with you and your family this year!

I grew up in York, Pennsylvania and went to Penn State University. I am a college football fan at heart but will always support the Ravens on any given Sunday. I started my teaching career in Northern Virginia where I taught first grade in Prince William County. I missed home and decided to move back to Pennsylvania. I began teaching 4th grade at Pot Spring Elementary as a long-term substitute. From there, I was hired at Fort Garrison Elementary where I have been for the past 5 years, two in 4th grade and three in 2nd grade. I have a strong passion for teaching reading and helping students succeed! I am excited to embark on my new journey as a Timonium Dolphin and become part of the amazing school family and community.
