Kyla Joslin

Math Department

Ms. Joslin has taught math at Cardigan for six years, but her role in the community goes far beyond that. An avid baker, Ms. Joslin enjoys surprising the boys with a just-out-of-the oven chocolate chip cookie. She’s also known to be quite handy with a needle and thread, and many boys seek out her assistance with a missing button on their Cardigan blazer.
