Social Studies Teacher is Named 2008 Worcester County Teacher of the Year                   

In the company of 350 colleagues and community leaders at the 21st Teacher of the Year Banquet in Ocean City, Grade 8 Social Studies Teacher Amy Gallagher of Stephen Decatur Middle School learned that she had earned the 2008 Worcester County Teacher of the Year title.  A National Board Certified teacher, Ms. Gallagher has been teaching Social Studies at Stephen Decatur Middle School for six years.  Pictured above with Ms. Gallagher at the April 4 program were Board of Education President Garry Mumford (left) and County Commissioner President Virgil Shockley.

Ms. Gallagher's understanding of the power of education and its impact on society developed after graduating from Mount Saint Mary's University with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Sociology.  "I decided to enter teaching following my work with juvenile offenders, which helped me to realize the one commonality among children in trouble with the law was a lack of value for education," explained Gallagher.  She earned her Master of Arts in Teaching from Salisbury University.  As a teacher, Ms. Gallagher ignites a passion for learning in her students!
