David Martin is a computer science teacher at Gallagher Middle School. “Teaching in Smithfield brings me great joy, especially witnessing the genuine excitement students have for computer science. It is fulfilling to nurture their enthusiasm for a subject which is pivotal in today's technology-driven society.” Thank you, Mr. Martin! #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Samantha Armstrong teaches a variety of science courses at SHS, including Forensics, Aquatics, and sometimes Anatomy. She also coaches Science Olympiad. " I truly enjoy working with students at the high school level because we can go deeper than to spark an interest, deeper than an 'A-ha!' moment, and can really dig into the content and how it relates to the students and our shared world." Thank you, Mrs. Armstrong! #TeacherAppreciationWeek @SmithfieldSchls
