Gwynneth Bruch
Drama Department, Outstanding Educator 2004-05
Congratulations to drama director Gwynneth Bruch for being named the
Outstanding DHS Educator for 2004-05. Mrs. Bruch has served as a model
of how one educator can help transform a community. As a drama director
Mrs. Bruch has critically examined her own practices while engaging her
students in understanding the nature of social justice on the
performance stage. She has not been afraid to ask the questions of why
students of color have not historically participated in her program...
she has worked with her students to rectify the disparity in
participation. Mrs. Bruch has taken risks to evolve and step away from
traditional performances... to a more inclusive program where diversity
is celebrated.
