Mr. Drew Gallagher has been named DCPS’s 2012 New Teacher of the Year. Mr. Gallagher joined DCPS last fall as a third grade teacher at Bruce-Monroe Elementary School. He was drawn to the district because he wanted to make a difference and “could think of no better place to teach than the public education system of our nation’s capital. Teaching in the city where change is made every day, I constantly feel empowered by this politically and socially charged city. For someone who is passionate about our country, Washington, DC is the perfect place to be.”

Mr. Gallagher enjoys creating an enthusiastic and imaginative classroom. He shares, “I appreciate the diversity, talents, enthusiasm, and curiosity that my young scholars bring to class every day. I feel honored to be given the trust and confidence to make the transformational change that my students deserve.”
