Ask her about Gloucester High School, and Denise Benchoff will tell you about the teachers who come in during the summer to help her daughter Delaney and other kids get a jumpstart on their classes.
“I see a lot of dedication with the teachers,” says Denise, whose older daughter graduated from Gloucester High and went to the University of Delaware to study mechanical engineering. “I’ve talked with a number of parents whose kids have gone on to great colleges. I am happy I chose the Gloucester schools.”
Watch Delaney’s story:

Great teachers and great community and some very fine leaders great job Delaney! Thanks John for sharing! I had a very close bond with most of my teachers from 1961-1968 and what a impression and mentorship! I am glad to see this tradition continues today! Thanks John…Dave:-) & Kim 🙂
Enjoy the dedicated to teachers there! 🙂

It’s great you had those bonds with teachers, Dave. I had one in college that made a difference in my life, too. Loved Welcome Back, Kotter — in high school I was like awkward like Horshack and Joey was dreamy and hunky like Vinny Barbarino. Hedgehogs forever.
