LI/TD Magnet Coordinator: Neil Deegan

Picture
​Hello parents, students and visitors! My name is Neil Deegan and I serve as the new LI/TD Magnet Coordinator here at Tuckaseegee. I enjoy planning with our fantastic LI/TD teachers and learning with our wonderful LI/TD K-5 students on a consistent basis.  
Educational Background
  • I am originally from Long Island, New York and graduated from St. Joeseph's College with a BA in Child Study K-6. I was also a member of the Leaders for Tomorrow Cohort 8 in CMS, where I received a master's degree in Educational Leadership.

Teaching Background
I started my career as a 7th grade teacher in Brooklyn, New York.  After two years I was married and decided to move to Charlotte to start a family.  I have started at Greenway Park, opened Ballantyne elementary, Elon Park, Windsor Park as an Academic facilitator, and most recently was a teacher at Oakhurst STEAM Academy.  I have taught 2nd-5th grades and have an affinity for pushing students beyond what they think they are capable of.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Learning Immersion/Talent Development 2020-2021

The change is here!!!
At Tuckaseegee, we believe that our Learning Immersion/Talent Development magnet program should be infused across the building.  All teachers at Tuckaseegee will be using the resource and strategies from our Advanced Studies/Magnet departments to engage students in meaningful learning.
