K–8 Physical Education and Middle School Health Teacher
Mr. Darrell Gago teaches Physical Education to all Kindergarten through 8th grade students at OLS. He previously taught at OLS for 12 years before deciding to retire. After a year away, he realized how much he missed the school community and decided it was time to return!
A graduate of UW–River Falls, Mr. Gago earned his degree in Agricultural Education with a minor in Physical Education. He spent more than 30 years teaching at Flambeau High School, where he also coached wrestling, football, track, and Little League.
Outside of school, family is one of the greatest joys in his life. He and his wife, Diane, have been married for 54 years and have four children and ten grandchildren. One of the special joys of returning to OLS has been the opportunity to teach alongside his granddaughters, Mya, Marika, and Lyla.
Mr. Gago is grateful to be back at OLS and reunited with the outstanding teachers and wonderful students who have made so many great memories over the years. He feels blessed to be part of the OLS community once again and looks forward to creating many more memories with our students. God has been good to him!
