With the school year almost over, we still have many concerts, award programs, dance/prom, and other exciting events to culminate an incredible school year.
On Friday, June 9, we will honor the Granby Memorial High School Class of 2023 at its graduation on the GMHS stadium field. This momentous event marks the culmination of dedication and perseverance of the graduating class. Join me in congratulating the Class of 2023 as they prepare for the next chapter in their lives.
The end of any school year is not only when we say goodbye to our graduating seniors, but also a wonderful chance to celebrate our accomplishments. We honored our staff during Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week; held a Coffeehouse, Foreign Food Fest, and National Honor Society Empty Bowls Fundraiser and Science Night at the high school; band/choral concerts; athletic teams were in full action; students participated in field days; and middle school students traveled to Washington, D.C. and helped release salmon into Salmon Brook. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire Granby community for your unconditional support this school year. Granby creates an incredible environment for children to form meaningful relationships and continues to strive for academic excellence.
As my tenure as Superintendent of Schools for the Granby Public Schools comes to an end on June 30, I would like to thank the Granby community for supporting my work the past three and one-half years. It has been a privilege to serve as your Superintendent and work with so many dedicated educators, students and community members. Together we have celebrated achievements and strived to provide the best possible education for our students.
Our students have demonstrated their talents and perseverance both inside and outside the classroom. The community has so much to be proud of and I have full confidence our students will continue to strive for excellence.
As I transition the district to incoming Superintendent of Schools Cheri Burke, may she find the same support and commitment for education that I encountered during my tenure. I am confident Ms. Burke will lead the Granby Public Schools to even greater heights in the years to come.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as the Superintendent of Granby Public Schools. I will never forget the relationships and memories my family and I made during our time spent in Granby.
