Ms. Gallagher has been a Special Education teacher for science at Neshaminy High School, since 2004.  This Council Rock High School graduate went to Holy Family University for both her graduate and undergraduate studies.  Gallagher then went back to Council Rock, this time for student teaching grades nine-12.


 
“My students learn that the decisions they make now will have an enormous impact on their future,” Gallagher said of her teaching motto. 

She does a lot of group activities to make class fun.  “I give a lot of open ended questions to make students think,” Gallagher said.  She also tries to bring humor into the classroom to maintain students attention.  Gallagher is also very close with her younger brother which helps her to connect with her students.

In teaching at Neshaminy this year, Gallagher hopes to instill in her students a concept that is very important to her.  “I always try to prepare students for their life after high school,” Gallagher stated.
