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 19 years and 11 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)!!!
