My name is Julia Van Wyk, and I am so excited for my fifth year teaching 7th grade math at CMS. I previously taught two years of 8th grade math at Hand Middle School in Columbia, SC. This will also be my fourth year as the girls head basketball coach. I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina with a Degree in Middle Level Education and certifications to teach math and English. I have also earned the Gifted and Talented teaching endorsement.

        I am originally from a town north of Boston, MA. I grew up in the cold and knew I wanted to come down south for the warm weather and some big time football. My parents still live in Boston, and my younger brother lives in CA. I love getting to visit both places! Outside of school I love cheering for the New England Patriots and the Gamecocks, reading, and spending time on the lake with friends.
