For Your Information:
New Staff!
High School Assistant Principal: Lauren Hotz (see bio in previous newsletter)
Adjustment Counselor: Sheela Hague--You may recognize Sheela, as she worked at Hampshire through her former position as a counselor and educator in the Center for Women and Community at UMass, empowering girls to have healthy relationships and providing support to all students. Sheela is welcomed addition to the faculty, and I'm confident you will appreciate her wealth of knowledge and warm demeanor.
Special Education Teacher: Ryan McCarthy--Ryan comes to us from Maine where he taught special education for a number of years. He is relocating to the area with his family. Ryan has experience with a diverse population of students and his experience and kind personality will be a nice fir to our learning community.
