Happy First Week of School!
We've had an amazing first two days of school and I feel honored and delighted to be part of the Goshen Center School family as your principal for the third year! We have a great school year ahead and it is my sincere goal to inspire, motivate and encourage the children at GCS to be strong members of our school community and lifelong learners.
This is the beginning of a weekly eblast that we will email and is intended to update you on upcoming events and school happenings.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at 860-491-6020 or tkeilty@rsd6.org
