Faculty & Staff - Junior High
Mrs. Annamarie Boyle / Junior High Science and intermediate math Teacher
Mrs. Boyle is thrilled to serve the community of St. Isaac Jogues as a junior high science teacher. Her teaching experience over the past twenty-five years has allowed her the opportunity to teach every grade from first through eighth and to serve as a teacher at Arbor View School in Glen Ellyn and St. Michael in Wheaton. Mrs. Boyle has been the recipient of two British Petroleum- Energy for Science Education grants and the ESP- Energizing Student Potential STEM grant. Her Bachelor’s Degree was earned in Education and Master’s Degree was completed in Special Education.
When she is not involved with teaching school, she is usually with her family. She and her husband, Michael, are the parents of five children who have all attended Catholic Schools. It is evident that Catholic education plays a vital role in their lives. Mrs. Boyle feels extremely blessed that God has brought her to SIJ to teach the students about God’s wonderful world through the wonder and awe found in science!
