Paige Gullett
I’m a science and computer science teacher for the Upper School at Columbus School for Girls. I’ve been in teaching high school and middle school since 2005. Despite my background in the sciences, I have found my passion in the One Laptop Per Child Program which integrates service and technology in a meaningful way. In addition to working with students, I love being outdoors, exercising, and traveling with family.
