Hello. My name is Courtney Cheetham and I'm so excited to join the Londonderry Middle School teaching staff as a math teacher. I previously taught 8th grade math, and 7th/8th grade academic support in Bedford, and currently serve as the high school girls basketball coach at Merrimack High School. In addition to teaching, I have a passion for wellness, and spent the last year completing a post master's degree in mental health counseling, and founded INS.p.i.r.e.d. Wellness LLC, a comprehensive wellness coaching practice in which I work with teams, and individuals to maximize their potential. When not coaching/teaching I enjoy playing any sport I can get my hands on, spending time with friends, and playing with my puppy, Princeton.
Hello Londonderry community! My name is Darci Drylie and I will be the 7th grade science teacher for the Cyclone team. I am a recent graduate from Southern New Hampshire University and received my degree in Middle School Science Education with a minor in Environmental Science. While in school, I participated in Undergraduate Research, various clubs and sports, and interned with Breakthrough Manchester as a teaching fellow for the last two summers where I taught 7th grade biology. Although this will be my first year as a teacher at Londonderry Middle School, I have spent the last two years in the school working with students and the staff. This past school year I did my student teaching with the 8th grade Tornado team, and the year before that I observed classes and meetings to complete my field hours. I am very excited to be a part of the Londonderry School District!
