Hello, I'm Mr. Kirkland, this year's science teacher. I am very excited to join the Magdalen Community! I grew up here in Andover and got my teaching degree from Wichita State University. In science, for August and September: 6th grade will be exploring the basics of biology, 7th grade will be learning about Earth's natural constructive and destructive forces, and 8th grade will be exploring the vast inner world of the human body.
