Mr. Tadgh LaBar

7th and 8th grade math teacher

Welcome to a new school year. My name is Tadgh LaBar and I have been teaching at White Township School since 2002.

​

When not at school, I enjoy time spent with my family and friends. I have been married to my wife Abby for 17 years. We have 2 daughters. Emerson is a high school freshman , and Jillian is a 7th grader. We also are in love with our dog, Bronx, a 4 year old, energetic boxer.

​

I look forward to a year that will certainly be filled with adventure.
