David City Public Schools would like to welcome Mrs. Eileen Gahan to Scout Nation as a special education teacher at David City Elementary.
With 32 years of teaching experience, I bring a deep passion for education and a strong commitment to supporting students of all abilities. I earned my endorsements in K-12 Special Education and Elementary Education from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and completed my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction through Doane College.
My husband and I have called David City home for the past 15 years. We have two wonderful daughters—Maggie (29) and Abbie (28)—who both live in Omaha. I enjoy walking, reading, and watching Oklahoma Sooners softball.
I am both honored and excited to serve the students of David City and to work in the town we proudly call home. I look forward to getting to know the families in our community and being part of their educational journey.
