A Warm Farewell
It has been a true pleasure serving the district and your students for the past two years as Principal and Assistant Principal. Next year there will be some changes in administration as Mr. Gaffigan is retiring at the end of July and on July 1st, Ms. Menard will be the new Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for the Holliston Public School District. We will miss our staff, students, and families from the Gill-Montague School District. We wish you all the best in the future.
Sincerely,
Joanne Menard, Principal
Thomas Gaffigan, Assistant Principal
