Arriving at Fallbrook School in Leominster in 1997 it was great to be back in Leominster. Fallbrook was a school that was still having some difficulties in the state mandated test scores for Fallbrook was ranked number 3 out of 3 elementary schools in Leominster. There was also a sense of Fallbrook not being a great school and we had a great number of parents choosing to sent their children to other schools rather than attend Fallbrook. In 2000 the local newspaper (Fitchburg Sentinel) held a contest where their readers could write in and vote for the best of the best in many different categories. Fallbrook School was voted Best of the Best in regards to elementary schools in the entire region. Our test scores also rose to where we had the best scores of the three schools in Leominster.
In 2001 I was nominated by a parent for Inclusive Administrator of the Year in Massachusetts. My family and myself were invited to an award ceremony where I received a inscribed red apple.In 2008 I was honored with The Courage To Speak Foundation's Community Award. I had become actively involved with that organization thru piloting a new drug awareness program at Brookside School.
