The Tewksbury Public Schools School Committee meeting held on April 30, 2025, focused on the introduction of two new principals for the upcoming school year. The meeting began with a recognition of the new leadership, highlighting the presence of many parents from Center Elementary School who were eager to meet their future principal.

The discussion outlined the thorough selection process for the new principals. The committee explained that the search began with a two-week posting period for applications, during which they reviewed all submissions. Input was gathered from staff and parents regarding the desired characteristics for the new principals, including feedback from those unable to attend live sessions.

Volunteers from the community, including teachers, staff, and parents of students with varying abilities, participated in the interview committee. This collaborative approach was employed for both the Heath Brook and Center School principal searches, as well as the Ryan principal search, ensuring a diverse representation in the selection process.

After initial interviews, a consensus was reached to advance a smaller group of finalists to the central office administrative team for further evaluation. The final decision on the two new principals was made unanimously, following extensive reference checks and discussions among the committee members.

The meeting concluded with the anticipation of introducing the new principals, marking a significant step in the leadership of Tewksbury Public Schools. The committee expressed confidence in the selected candidates and their ability to lead the schools effectively in the coming year.
