Brunswick School Department

Welcome to the world of science at Brunswick High School, where curiosity meets creativity! Our science program is nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to a team of passionate, talented, and innovative educators who make learning an exciting adventure every day. And the cherry on top? Mr. McCullough, one of our own BHS alums, brings not only expertise but a deep sense of pride and connection to the classroom. It’s this unique blend of dedication and experience that truly makes our science classes shine! #mainesuperintendent #teambrunswickme #brunswickhighschool #scienceiscool #highschoolscience #brunswickhighschoolalumni

Carla Selberg What do you do for Brunswick School Department? I teach Family and Consumer Science at Brunswick High School which currently include four different semester electives: Food Science, International Cuisine, Parenting/Child Development, and Fiber Arts. I have also taught Housing and Life Management. I have been the faculty advisor for the Baking Club for the last 4 years -organizing cooking competitions and experiences. How long have you been with BSD? I have been a teacher at BHS for 18 years. When my children were in Brunswick's Longfellow Elementary School, I was a substitute teacher for about 4 years. What do you enjoy most about working at BSD? Working at Brunswick High School and getting to teaching the subjects that I love has been my "dream" job. I love to see the students change, grow, become confident and successful! I teach grades 9-12 so I get to meet a lot of students when they arrive as Freshman and am so proud to see all they have accomplished by the time they graduate. BHS has a culture that promotes excellence, personal growth, and school spirit! I love the school, the staff, the students, and the wide variety of curriculum offerings. What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement? Sleep in, go out for lunch and play in my sewing room! What do you look forward to most in your retirement years? The gift of “time”. Time for fun activities with my family and friends. Time to create more quilts as illustrations for children’s books. Time for long walks, sewing marathons, playing with my granddaughter, and traveling with my husband! Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick. One year, during an open house a former student came to visit me. He shared that he graduated from a culinary arts school and was now a head chef in a restaurant. He came to thank me for inspiring him and giving him the confidence to pursue this career. I had no idea that I was planting a seed in this quiet freshman that would change the trajectory of his life. That is the reason that I love to be a teacher - I made a positive difference in the life of a student.

🚒🔥 Huge shoutout to Fire Chief Brillant and Assistant Fire Chief Josh Shean for taking the time to serve lunch at HBS recently! Your dedication to our community goes beyond emergency response—thank you for keeping us safe and for bringing smiles to our students and staff! 🙌🥪 #MaineSchoolSuperintendent #TeamBrunswickME #CommunityHeroes

Shari Tarleton Music Teacher at BJHS How long have you been with BSD? 31 years What do you enjoy most about working at BSD? The thing I enjoy most about working at BSD is all of the amazing students that I get to create music with every single day. What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement? I hope I will remember to not get up and head into school for a morning rehearsal. What do you look forward to the most in your retirement years? I look forward to having the time to travel and see a lot of places and a lot of theater. Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick. One of the joys of teaching chorus is that there are memorable moments every single class. I love watching the music kick in and the voices take over as the ensemble works together to create so many emotions. It never gets old.
