Madelyn Ward

Welcome Everyone!

​A little about me is that this is going to be my 3rd year teaching and my 3rd year at Winder-Barrow High School. In the picture I am on the bottom right, the person on the top left is my sister.

​I got my Masters in Teaching at the University of Georgia as well as my undergraduate degree in English.

​I will be teaching Regular 9th, 9th Honors Literature, and British Literature this school year and I am very excited for it. I am also the coach for the WBHS Swim Doggs!

​If you will need any extra tutoring outside of the normal class time, I usually will stay after school till 3:30, but I ask that you give me a heads up and I will make time in my schedule to stay longer after school, especially as swim season starts later in the fall semester.

Their primary job is to help gifted children develop their intellectual and academic potential in collaboration with the child’s parents. Teaching gifted children is both exciting and challenging.
