The Winchendon School

The best college prep school for students with significant unrealized potential

Academics

Bart Wilson Bolander

After perhaps a few too many years as a student of languages and literature both at home and abroad, Bart now finds himself happily on the other side of the teacher’s desk, where he can share his experiences and his passions with his Winchendon students.
Song to start the day: “The Everlasting Gaze” by the Smashing Pumpkins
Superpower of choice: I transform into a bat.
Favorite place and books on hand: At my desk and in front of my window with Dr. Faustus by Thomas Mann.
Favorite Globetrotting adventure? Rome to have dinner with my good friend Gina the Cat, or Montparnasse.

Kenneth Green

According to Coach Green’s Wikipedia page, he’s 6 ft 8 in but he’s so down to earth, you may not feel as though you’re looking up to him. Students line up outside of his office to get his advice and insight. There’s much to appreciate about Coach Green, including his desire to return to college and complete his bachelors degree after his professional career brought him back to the United States after working in Europe. Now teaching and coaching at The Winchendon School, Coach Green will tell you he doesn’t like to lose. See you on the court, Coach!

  • Superpower of choice?- This would be mind control!
  • Go to comfort food?– Peanut butter and jelly.
  • Bucket list?- Buying a Ferrari, cruise in Greece, and going to Alaska!
  • Which Winchendon class would you most like to take?– I would love to take miss Johnson’s media class.

Niya Johnson

Niya Johnson’s experience as a Division 1 athlete made her ideal to join The Winchendon School’s Humanities Department and Athletic Department as an Assistant Coach for the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team. She attended The University of Massachusetts Lowell, where she received her Bachelor’s in English and minored in marketing, before earning her Master’s in Business.

Originally from Brooklyn, NY,  Niya was a National Honors Society member all four years of high school and a CHSAA Champion in her freshman season, but don’t let her accolades fool you, she loves to kick back and watch Master Chef and Master Chef Junior.
