My name is Ms. Gauger and I am in the ART department. This is my first year at WHS. I am excited to be a Warrior. I have been teaching High School Art for 20 years and 12 years in BCPS. I graduated from Hereford High School in 1995. I have coached girls soccer, held Art Club, Diversity Club, and Yoga Club in the past.
I love making art in my spare time. I love teaching and coming up with ideas for lessons. I enjoy discovering new music and I love to dance. I have a garden each year and have a cat named Leo. I taught in North Carolina for 6 years. I played soccer, lacrosse, and snowboarded, too! I have gone to several music concerts and one time I got a hug from Ringo Starr (one of the Beatles)!!!

Bio: Greetings! My name is Ms. Jordan and this will be my first year at WHS and my 8th year teaching in BCPS! I am excited to join the Art Department at Woodlawn High School, the community where I started my teaching career and grew up.
I enjoy coffee, reading, running, lazy beach days, and of course creating!In my free time I'm usually hanging out with my daughter or binge watching a new series or old horror films, or trying a new food! This year I'm looking forward to meeting new students, learning new things and settling in to our 'new normal'.
