Hi, from the new library ed tech

Hi, my name is Ms. Ganong. I'm excited to join the amazing staff at BRHS as the ed tech in the library. I recently moved to the area with my family from Bar Harbor. My husband, Mr Dionne is the new head football coach, health, and physical education teacher. We've met lots of wonderful people. Everyone has been so welcoming and helpful.

I grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from Simmons College in Boston with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I majored in Sociology with concentration in education but started my family young and was a stay at home mom for 10 years. I moved to Maine in 2002. Later, I worked as a fitness instructor at the MDI YMCA , a chiropractic assistant, exercise therapist, and most recently was a stay at home mom again for the last 2 years. I also worked for the MDI High School swim team as their diving coach for the last 6 years.

There are so many new faces and names to learn, but I'll do my best. I'm looking forward to getting to know all the students and the rest of the community this year.
