About Ms. Dowling

I began my teaching career in Boston, Massachusetts, then moved to St. Louis in 2017. I have been teaching high school science for 8 years. At Collegiate, I teach Principles of Biomedical Science and AP Environmental Science. In my courses, I treat students as real scientists and put an emphasis on group collaboration. 

I was honored as the 2020-21 St. Louis Public Schools Secondary Science Teacher of the Year, the District-wide Educator of the Year, one of ten St. Louis Regional Teachers of the Year, and a finalist for the Missouri State Teacher of the Year award.
