Principal

 

Meet Dr. G

David Glennon

My name is David Glennon, but most of my students call me “Dr. G.” I am thrilled to serve as the principal of Herbert Hoover Elementary School. I live in Wilmington, DE, with my wife, Janet (Mrs. G.). I always tell her that while I do have a challenging commute to work every day, it is worth the trip. We have the best students, teachers, staff, and parents in the world! I grew up in Millbrook, New York. I earned a bachelor's degree in politics at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I earned a master’s degree in education from Eastern University and a second master’s degree in educational leadership from Cabrini University. I earned a doctorate degree in Elementary and Secondary Educational Administration from Capella University. I have served as an educator in Chester, Philadelelphia, New Jersey, Florida, and Delaware. I have had the privilege of working at Hoover since July of 2016. I love my job! I promise you that our teachers, support staff, and I will work hard this year to help your child to experience success academically and socially. I encourage you to consider joining our PTO. They work hard to provide several fun events for our students and parents throughout the year, and they are always in need of volunteers. We are also always looking for excellent individuals to help us to “build futures.” If you know of anyone who might be interested in a career in education, please encourage him or her to apply online. If you have any questions at all regarding our school, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or me. I can always be reached at [email protected]
