Mrs. Catherine Gallucci
This is my 26th year at Saunders High School and my 29th year as a high school English teacher. When I began at Saunders HS, I worked with grades 9 and 10 and subsequently moved onto grades 11 and 12. For over a decade, I taught the Grade 12 college link program, a collaboration between Saunders and Mercy and Iona College. I have worked with grades 10 and 11 since then.
I love to read and to find relevant and provocative stories for my students. Another passion of mine is film; I even studied film as an undergrad in college. Movies tell stories in a visual way, and I have always been drawn to storytelling. I look forward to working with my students again this year, both virtually and in-person. Let's brace ourselves for the road ahead; we are in this together.
