Principal's Message
To the Gardner-South Wilmington High School District #73 Community;
It is a privilege to serve as the Interim Principal for the remainder of the 2025-2026
school year. Returning to the halls of GSW is a “full circle” moment for me and I am
honored to return to the place where my full-time career in education began. I look
forward to working with the students, parents, and staff to advance the District mission
of preparing students to be productive, responsible and active members of society.
I have over 40 years of experience in education, including 26 years as an administrator.
My last 11 years were spent as the Superintendent of Morris Community High School
District #101 before retiring in 2018. I am well aware of the tremendous sense of pride
the community has in their school and will work hard to continue to build upon these
strengths during this school year.
Feel free to contact me to with questions or concerns as we all work together to support
our students during this important time in their development. “Once a Panther, Always a
Panther.”
Yours in Education,
Dr. Patrick M. Halloran
