My name is Brooke Michael and I am excited to be teaching 7th grade math! I am originally from Ohio, but I moved to South Carolina in 2005. I graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I am highly qualified to teach Middle School Mathematics and Social Studies. I have been teaching since 2005 in both traditional and virtual classroom settings. Besides teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling to new places, and spending time outdoors.

I graduated from Presbyterian College in 2013 and began teaching 7th Grade ELA at Pelion Middle that same year. I taught 7th grade for 2 years before moving up to 8th grade and English 1. In December 2016 I graduated from USC with my M.Ed. in Teaching with an emphasis in curriculum. I also have the Gifted and Talented endorsement. I am currently working on my National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification in Early Adolescent English Language Arts. 

When I'm not teaching I enjoy coaching JV Volleyball at PHS, reading, watching movies, and playing with my dog Duke.

I received my Bachelors Degree in History from Lander University and my Masters Degree in Administration from Lamar University. I have taught middle and high school history classes during my teaching career, and really enjoy teaching 7th grade Geography. My wife is also a teacher at Gilbert High School, and we have four children, our oldest currently pursuing a teaching degree from Lander University. When I am not teaching I am outside working, hiking, or other outdoor activities and if it is too cold you may find me and my family performing music or in plays at our local theater.

Hello all! I am proud to be a graduate of White Knoll High School with its first graduating class. I started my teaching career in 2005 in Lexington 2, and began at PMS in 2006. I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education from Columbia College, my middle school science certification, my master's in elementary administration from USC, and will finish up my master's in biology from Clemson University in May 2021. I have two sons who attend Forts Pond Elementary, one of which will join me at the middle school in the 2021 school year. In my spare time, I enjoy singing both karaoke and in my church choir, reading fiction, and cuddling with my 1-year-old cat Jemma.
