Congratulations Dr. Clancy Teacher with a Heart for December

Students understand very quickly that they are the masters of their education because Dr. Clancy does not coddle students and holds to the standards that are outlined on day one. Rather than push students to succeed, he guides, supports, and encourages through the high expectations that have been set because at the end of the day, it is on his students to perform.

Dr. Clancy has created a wonderful environment for learning, and even their tears are proof of their growth and resilience.
