ABERDEEN – Roncalli Middle School teacher Dan Gallagher was honored with a prestigious Milken Educator Award during an assembly on Feb. 13.
The 2018 Northern State University graduate had no idea he was going to receive the award, which comes with $25,000, until his name was called, and his reaction revealed his surprise.
“I actually had no idea what the assembly was for. So, I really appreciate everyone being here,” Gallagher said while accepting the award. “And to all the students, the students that I might not have had the chance to teach, but I’ve gotten to know in a lot of different ways, whether through coaching or just in the hallways, you guys are what makes teaching special.”
