Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year!

Hello! My name is Ms. Bodenstein (she/they) and I am an English teacher at Hamilton West High School. I graduated from The College of New Jersey with a BA in English Secondary Education and a minor in Holocaust/Genocide Studies, and a MA in English. I'm excited to return to West after student teaching here in 2019. Outside of the classroom, I love reading novels (my favorite genre is contemporary fiction), making art (embroidery and printmaking) and going to concerts!
