Hello! My name is Ms. Taryn Pohl and I am beyond excited to be your child’s teacher this year. This will be my second year in SLPS, however I was a TA at Parkway prior to joining this district. I was born and raised in Saint Louis, but I currently live with my dog Finn downtown, near the baseball stadium. 

I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Early Childhood Education from Mizzou in May of 2021. I currently hold my Missouri teaching certificates in both Early Childhood Education as well as Elementary Education - meaning I am certified to teach ages Birth-6th grade. I also hold my Missouri substitute certificate. I intend to begin my master's degree later this year. 

I am the oldest of 3 siblings; my oldest brother Dreyton just graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado and my youngest brother Kellan is in 6th grade (yes, 6th!) in the Rockwood School District. One of my favorite things to do outside of the classroom is spend time with my mom, Dreyton, and Kellan.

Other things I enjoy outside of the classroom include traveling, playing volleyball (I coach a 5th grade team), walking my dog, and shopping. I also LOVE coffee - I never leave my house without it! 

I am looking forward to connecting with my students this year and can't wait to help them grow as learners!
