A little about Mrs. Flannery:
I am a graduate of Pallotti High School. I graduated form the University of Maryland College Park in 2001 with a BA in English, Writing and Rhetoric. I returned to Pallotti to coach cheerleading in 2000, and began teaching in 2004. I married another Pallotti graduate in 2005—Ryan Flannery (He is also a former teacher at Pallotti!). I coached cheerleading until 2005, when I had my baby daughter Bree Sophia Flannery. She is a year and a half old now, and a handful! In the little spare time I have, I enjoy reading, playing in the park with my daughter and watching movies with my husband.
