She will be teaching eighth grade math this year and said she had considered substituting and that this opportunity to teach full time “fell into my lap.”
She is excited about the coming year.
“I’m looking forward to working with the kids and the other eighth grade teachers. It’s a really good group of teachers and from what I’ve heard it’s a good group of students as well,” she said.
While recognizing the importance of the Standards of Learning Burger feels learning must go beyond its parameters, and hopes that her students will be able to “gain knowledge above and beyond what’s required.”
A third addition to the RCHS faculty is Haf Davies. She will be teaching eighth grade English and will arrive from England in time for the first day of school.
Among those new to the elementary school this year is first grade teacher Sandy Fletcher.
Fletcher taught for eight years, followed by an eleven year break to raise her children. She was by no means idle during this time however, and said she spent many hours volunteering, substituting and tutoring children.
Now, she is looking forward to having her ninth grade daughter and fourth grade son in Rappahannock’s schools.
“I always wanted my children in the school system here because I’ve heard such wonderful things about it,” she said.
Fletcher, a Culpeper native, said she also loves the rural character of the area and is looking forward to working in the schools. She hopes to pass her love for reading and learning on to her students and instill in them the value of making these interests ongoing activities.

Brogol has a masters in elementary and special education from the University of Virginia as well as 30 years experience as a registered nurse. Originally from New York, Brogol spent the past two years substituting in the Charlottesville school system.
“I’m really excited to be here and can’t wait to finally have my own class,” she said.
Now living in Huntly, Brogol said she looks forward to learning the history and geography of Virginia along with her students this year.
