Angie Gilliland ~ 25 Years of Service!

Please join us in congratulating Angie Gilliland for 25 years of service at ADM! 

Angie is a Special Education Teacher and PLC Leader at ADM High School.  She was born and raised in Adel.   She attended Iowa State University to obtain her BA in History and went on to Drake University for her MA in Special Education.  All of her 25 years of teaching have been with ADM Schools.  

Angie has great memories of school growing up.  She always loved school and participating in school activities.  She wanted to become a teacher so she could provide those same opportunities for her students; to help them enjoy school, get involved, and make memories.  Having lived in Adel her entire life, ADM was an easy choice for her when it comes to where she wanted to teach.  With pride, Angie shared, “My parents graduated from Adel HS.  My siblings and I graduated from Adel-DeSoto HS.  I am a Tiger for life and there is no place I would rather be.”

When asked why she stays at ADM, Angie shared that staying is easy because of the students, the staff, and the community support.  She loves that ADM has high standards and expectations and that all of the teachers and staff work hard to help all students achieve success. Building relationships with her students and watching them grow into independent young adults is what Angie loves most about her role as a Special Education Teacher.  Angie shared she has too many ADM memories to pick a favorite, but winning back-to-back State Track & Field championships is towards the top of that list for her.

Outside of school, Angie enjoys watching/supporting her favorite sports teams, reading, watching movies, and singing in church choir.

Thank you, Angie Gilliland, for your 25 years of service with ADM!
