Gaithersburg’s Shady Grove Middle School Principal Lance Dempsey was one of two educators to receive Montgomery County’s prestigious Mark Mann Excellence and Harmony Award last month. Dempsey, who is from outside New York City, has worked as an educator in county schools for 17 years, five of which were spent teaching. She was nominated by her staff and chosen in part because of the school’s gains on state and federal tests. She has served as principal at Shady Grove since 2002.
Why do you say that the award is not about your leadership but about the whole school?
