Hello! I am Mark Garland and I am a teacher at HSES. This is my fifth year at High Shoals. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Human Geography from the University of Georgia and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Piedmont College. I am entering my twelfth year of teaching. Before coming to High Shoals, I taught fourth grade at Bramlett Elementary in Auburn, Georgia for seven years. I am married to an incredibly talented woman, Sarah Eubanks Garland, and we live in Athens with our son Teddy and our dog, Gilly.
