Chocksett continues to "sizzle" in the summer!

Chocksett Middle School is bustling throughout the summer with many activities for children offered by the Sterling Recreation Department. The instructors of several offerings are Chocksett staff members. It is a joy to watch so many children have fun as they learn many skills; such as sewing, cooking, music, etc.

Is it really the end of another school year?


Dear Chocksett Parents/Guardians,

It seems as if I just wrote your welcome back letter. I wish to thank you all for your continued support. Working together we have implemented a new school improvement plan that will guide us through the next few years. I look forward to continuing the work we have begun to ensure that all students receive a quality education in a safe and respectful environment.

I would especially like to take this opportunity to thank all who have volunteered their time and efforts this year. You have donated your time in many ways including: School Council, PTO, Mathletes, Destination Imagination, U.N/Social Studies, athletic coaching, Science Olympiad, library, school store, chaperones for dances and field trips, etc. Without you the many opportunities offered to our students would not be possible. A very special thank you to our PTO for their financial support of our many after school clubs and activities. These student enrichment activities are the soul of our school community. The Chocksett School Community is very grateful for all you have done and continue to do.

I would be remiss if I did not thank my staff for their outstanding dedication to the education and the well being of your children. They are true professionals in the finest sense of the word. They are life long learners who spend many hours outside of the school day in preparation for their responsibilities and commitment to their students. I am proud to be their “educational leader”.

May I also take this opportunity to wish Kathy Mitchell and MaryBeth Petit the very best as they leave us at the end of this school year to begin the next phase of their professional careers at Wachusett Regional High School, Math, and Mountview Middle School, Grade 7 Science. The Chocksett Community has benefited from their many years of dedicated service.

Again, thank you all. I look forward to working with you and your children next year.

As always, if you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 


Have a wonderful summer!

A Sincere Thank You!


Friends and Colleagues,

I have recently been notified that I have been chosen as the 2013 MetLife/NASSP/MSSAA Massachusetts Middle School Principal of the Year. With this award, I am humbled and proud to be able to represent the many deserving Middle School Principals throughout our state and especially the Chocksett Middle School community and the Wachusett Regional School District. I am very grateful to all of you that have supported my nomination. This award would not be possible without your continued support, cooperation and all your efforts on behalf of our students and all members of our school community.
