Gale Young, Associate Director of Admission
After graduating from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst with a BM, Gale Young taught music in the Northampton and Wilbraham School Districts. She pursued her Master’s in Music, performed in local operettas and, while teaching in Wilbraham, she obtained 30 credits past her Master’s in reading.
Gale began coaching private voice students at Eagle Hill as well as at Wachusett Regional High School. Realizing what an amazing school Eagle Hill is, she was very interested in becoming more involved with the Eagle Hill School Community and accepted the Associate Director of Admission position.
Gale brings many organizational, marketing and communication skills to the Admission Office but what she especially enjoys is the opportunity to spend time with the students being the advisor for the "Puppy Club" and having them to her home on weekends to relax, bake cookies and make dinner.
