Lisa Gagalis announces run for North Hampton School Board
Feb. 13 − To the Editor:
My name is Lisa Gagalis, and I am running for re-election to the North Hampton School Board on March 12th.
As a North Hampton native who attended North Hampton School (1996),
Winnacunnet High School (2000), and the University of New Hampshire (2004), I know how exceptional our seacoast community is. Being raised in North Hampton taught me the importance of quality school systems, public service, and community engagement. It has been an honor to serve as your school board member these past two years, and I am asking for your vote to continue to serve for an additional three.
My roles as the vice chair and budget liaison have made me keenly aware of the issues our students, parents, teachers, and community members face. As a nurse, I understand the importance of implementing policies based on my experience as a healthcare provider. As a mother of three current North Hampton Jaguars, I appreciate the needs of our students and families in town. And as a daughter of two retirees living here, I understand the need to bring forward a fiscally responsible budget that all town members can support. I wear many hats in our community, and it has taught me that our ability to help others is only as strong as our ability to listen. Whether on the sidelines of my children’s Seacoast United soccer games, walking my two dogs through town, or listening to the bandstand summer concert series, I am always ready to listen. Your voices are essential to continuing the legacy of our fantastic seacoast community and school.
