Michael Rowland is an English teacher and is excited to get to know all his students. He just moved to Maine from North Carolina (where he taught for 12 years) and is already enjoying many of the beautiful outdoor experiences the state has to offer! He admits, however, that he is a little intimidated by the winters to come as he spent most of his life in the South. As a collector of hobbies and a lover of animals, he is always interested in hearing about the stuff you like to collect, the skills you practice, and/or your pets. If you see him in the halls, feel free to tell him about the thing you are into, odds are he is familiar with it and/or would love to learn more about it.
