Meet Mr. Gallagher
I graduated from Central Connecticut State University with a MS-Ed in Technology and Engineering Education.
I teach a variety of classes at Haddam-Killingworth High School, including Graphic Communications 1 and 2, Woodworking 1 and 2, as well as Project Lead the Way's Introduction to Engineering (H) and Principles of Engineering (H). I am also certified in PLTW's Engineering Design and Development. Each PLTW course requires an additional 80 hours of training in order to become certified to teach each course.
My background is primarily metalworking. My family owns a small precision sheet metal and machine shop in Old Saybrook where I learned CAD drawing, metal fabrication, CNC programming and welding at a young age. Woodworking and construction have been also been hobbies of mine, especially after buying and renovating my house. During the warm months, I help a friend of mine with his SK Light race car at the Waterford-New London Speedbowl. I try to incorporate all these experiences into my classroom whenever possible.
Along with the courses I teach, I'm also an assistant coach for the Cross Country and both the Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field team. With their support and motivation I have completed in recent years several 5k and 4-mile races, as well as a Tough Mudder event held at Mt Snow and the Pilgrim-Harvard Middletown and Hartford Half Marathons.
The photo the left had to be included due to an agreement with 2012 graduate Caitlin Blancaflor. She was in my first Advisory class and one of our track team athletes. I believe it was taken at our 2012 Outdoor Track Shoreline Championships hosted at HK.
