I have been teaching at Prospect Mountain High School since 2015 and I love it! Prior to teaching at PMHS I was at Dover High School where I taught Exploratory Engineering and Computer Programming. I bring a business background to PMHS, as I worked in the corporate world for a Fortune 5 company for many years (decades really) prior to teaching. Here at Prospect Mountain I am thrilled to teach courses in Computer Programming such as Introduction to Programming, Game Design I & II, and C++, along with business courses such as Introduction to Business, Entrepreneurship, Business Law, and Principles of Marketing. It is my privilege to be the adviser of PMHS's Future Business Leaders of America Club and our school store, The Wolf Den. We have grown as a store and a chapter since my arrival, earning FBLA awards both nationally and at the NH state level! As for me personally, I earned my B.A. & B.S. from Salve Regina and my MS from Antioch Graduate School. Any free moments I have I am happiest to spend with my family (my mom, daughter, and dog). I enjoy reading, going to the theater, and love the ocean – being near it, looking at it, swimming in it, or kayaking on it!

Helping students succeed has been a passion of mine for a long time. I have been a part of this wonderful community of teachers at Prospect Mountain High School for four years now and couldn’t be happier. Before coming to Prospect I worked as a paraprofessional for five years in the Pembroke School District and was a special education teacher for three years at Belmont High School. In both places I worked mostly with students with behavioral or emotional disorders. During my 11 years working in education I have spent nine of them coaching baseball, basketball, soccer and lacrosse. I have coached at all levels from middle school through varsity. Prior to my career in education I received my undergraduate degree from Temple University in Psychology and my master’s degree from Rivier University in Special Education with a concentration in emotional and behavioral disorders as well as positive behavior intervention and support. In my free time, when I get it, I enjoy spending time outside, playing or watching sports and spending time with my wife and dog.

I have been at Prospect Mountain for 9 years. I currently work in the Special Education Department in the life skills room. Prior to Prospect, I was employed at Alton Central School for 3 years, and Pittsfield Middle High School for 4 years. I graduated from ACS in 1994 and find it ironic that I am now working under the same roof as teachers that taught me, This past summer of 2021 I obtained my LNA license which helps me in the position I hold here at Prospect working with students with higher physical needs. When I'm not at work I enjoy riding my motorcycle, spending time with my friends and family, especially my 17 year old daughter, Jaylyn, who also attends school here.
Alexandra Berry
My name is Alexandra Berry. I am in my fourth year as a paraprofessional at PMHS! I'm a 2018 Prospect Mountain graduate. I loved my time at Prospect, and I didn't want to leave; I'm so lucky and thankful to be back. This school has always felt more like a second home than a school to me. Being back has presented me with the opportunity to do things and experience things I never got to do while I was in school as a student. I've enjoyed each challenge presented to me, and I'm proud to say I've overcome each hurdle. I love assisting with the Unified sports teams through the year. Along with working as a paraprofessional, I mentor the FRC Big Bad Bob 319 robotics team. I love being able to give back to the team that I gained so much from when I was a member during my Junior and Senior years of school.

Bonnie Dodge
I am privileged to be a part of an amazing group of Para Educators. I am grateful to each and every student I am privileged to work with. While I do my best to assist them, they in fact, teach me so much about life. This is my fourth year here at PMHS. Prior to that, I was employed as a Life Skills Coach for several years. While raising my daughters I worked as a full-time Homesteader and LOVED it. But the most important, meaningful job of my lifetime was being a mom.
James Hill
My name is James Hill. I am certified as a teacher in Mathematics. I just started at PMHS as a paraprofessional this year. I love what I do but enjoy my weekends more. In the summer, you're likely to find me singing and kayaking (Yes, at the same time) on Milton Three Ponds. I have been singing there, in my kayak or rowboat, for over 15 years. If I'm not singing in my kayak then I may be enjoying any other activity at the lake. I love sharing holiday meals with my family. I'm looking forward to a fantastic year.
