For the second time in as many months, Ankin Law is honoring a Chicagoland teacher for their outstanding contributions to their school.

For February 2025, we joined with WGN-TV to present the “Teacher of the Month” award to Chris Galloway of Yorkville High School. He’s a recent graduate of the school (2018), Galloway has already made an impact on his students as an educator and a coach for a few sports.
