From working within the family
funeral home to being a wellness coach and
full-time secondary English teacher, who
would have ever thought that any person with
such an occupied life would have the time and
energy to provide students with the
knowledge and guidance to be greater. Mrs.
Poiette McGill Bromell is the master for the
job. After teaching on and off for seven years
in Mullins and Darlington High Schools, she
finally decided to join the Swamp Fox team at
Marion High School in the rural town of
Marion, S.C.
Mrs. Bromell is one of the most
dedicated and enthusiastic teachers at Marion
High School, committing to the lives and
education of her students. She is known to be
most effective in finding ways for students to
become actively engaged and prepared for a
life after high school. She expresses her
dedication through her daily planning and
extensive in-class lessons. She believes that
every student should have the opportunity to
learn skills to benefit them in the future, rather
in college or the work place. Mrs. Bromell has
incorporated her own methodology in the
classroom.
During the start of the semester, she
has been teaching her students the
fundamentals of writing, how to complete
college applications, how to develop personal
statements, and how to complete job
applications and rsums. She doesnt
incorporate much reading into her lessons
until the second semester, when she feels that
her students are ready to effectively interact
with the texts. Despite the different levels of
texts her English III and IV students are
confronted with, she teaches them the same
general concepts. I teach all of my students
the same material. English III and IV students
are all on the same page, she stated.
