Department: World Languages & ELL
Currently Teaching: ELL Reading and ELL English

My name is Nancy Galt I have been teaching at Wooster for three years in Special Education and ESL. After completing a ten years in corporate America, I decided to go into teaching because I enjoyed the training and teaching aspects of my business career. Much of my free time was spent volunteering with young people and working with the Foster Care Program of San Diego. After my last position with Verizon as a Sales Coach, I did full-time subbing for a year and decided to complete my teaching credential upon my return to Reno in 2003. Teaching is the most rewarding job I have ever had and I thoroughly enjoy working with the culturally diverse staff and students at Wooster High School. We truly have a community which prepares the students for life after high school and gives them a hope for their future endeavors. I look forward to many more rewarding years at Wooster High School.
