”My name is Andreas "fugitive from the grammar police" Spiliadis, but you can call me Spilly. I am a tried and true Baltimoron and my first neighborhood of residence was Hampden. I have taught in Baltimore schools for the past decade or so, and am notorious for my love of debate, which I will be teaching and coaching at Independence. I am a musician and a painter and a blogger. I will work to give Independence students opportunities to express themselves through writing and the arts, and to expand themselves through all sorts of reading.”
