Nigel La Roche

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! I am so excited to be your new Deep Run Principal. I have over 28 years in education and have been so proud to serve communities as a teacher and school administrator. My career began in Baltimore County as a special education teacher, where my focus was on meeting the needs of every student. Since that time, I have taught at non-public schools and at Fulton Elementary School. I served the entire county as a Behavior Specialist with the Department of Special Education for nine years before becoming a Leadership Intern and Assistant principal right around the corner at Waterloo Elementary School. Six years ago, I was promoted to my first principalship at Dayton Oaks Elementary School. Looking back, I am so proud of the culture of inclusion and belonging that I helped foster for every child and family, and I intend to continue to make family engagement and student belonging a priority at Deep Run. With your partnership we can accomplish so much, and it is going to be a great school year! Lastly, coming to Deep Run is like coming home as my own children, Oliver and Chloe attended Deep Run many years ago. They have grown and succeeded due to the strong educational foundation they received at Deep Run. I look forward to seeing you all this year!
