Not new to EJMS, but in a new role...let's hear it for Mr. Bodle!
Hi! My name is David Bodle and I am thrilled to continue my teaching journey at East Middle! I started my education career at Rosenwald Elementary as the MSD teacher and spent last year as an Instructional Assistant here at East. I love the community and students of East and cannot wait to begin my new role as your STEAM teacher for the upcoming school year. Prior to joining the East Middle team, I spent a number of years working for Cincinnati Children's Hospital. I'm an Asbury grad, a big Bengals fan (Who Dey!) and love spending time in the outdoors. I am incredibly excited to foster a sense of curiosity and creativity in our students as we explore the different aspects of STEAM. Can't wait to meet more of you all this upcoming school year!

Hello! My name is Billie Mulcahy, and I am excited to be joining the team as one of the MSD Instructional Assistants. I have a strong passion for working with students in MSD programs and am looking forward to supporting our students as they learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
I come to this position from HSBC in Jessamine County, where I gained valuable experience working with students with diverse needs. I am also currently completing my Learning and Behavior Disorders (LBD) Certification, which has further strengthened my commitment to special education and student success.
Being a Jaguar is nothing new to me. My family has been part of the East Jessamine community for many years, and now I am excited to officially join the team. My goal is to help students become the very best Jaguars they can be, both academically and personally.
My husband and I have been married for 30 years, and together we have been blessed with three wonderful boys, all of whom have attended or will attend East Jessamine. Our family is deeply connected to this community, and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the students and families of East.
I look forward to building relationships, encouraging student growth, and being part of such an amazing school family.
💙💚 Go Jaguars! 💙💚

Hi! My name is Jose Bustingorri, and I am excited to join East Jessamine Middle School as a business teacher. I was born and raised in Argentina and moved to the United States to play golf at Asbury University, where I earned a degree in Finance.

I'm Ms. Armstrong, also known as the fun colored hair teacher. I had the honor of being an instructional assistant at West Jessamine Middle with a focus in 7th grade social studies for three years. This year is all about new beginnings with a new school, new content, and new students. I couldn't be more excited and thankful to be joining the Jaguar family.
In my free time I love traveling to Chicago. It's my second home. Immersed in diversity of all walks of life, Chicago has given me real life experiences that I take back to the classroom. In life not every child will learn the same, look the same, or come from the same background. My belief is that every child deserves kindness, to celebrate the little wins and deserves to be seen and heard while having the opportunity to enjoy learning.
I can't wait to meet all of you at East Middle! Enjoy your summer!
