Dear WMS families,
I am pleased to announce that Mr. John Adams will be nominated as the Interim Assistant Principal at WMS for the remainder of the 2026-27 school year at a special School Committee meeting on Thursday. Mr. Adams is an experienced educator with over 30 years of service as a social studies teacher, assistant principal, co-principal, and principal at both the middle and high school levels in New Hampshire. He will be a great addition to WMS. He has already had an opportunity to meet several students and staff and is looking forward to getting to know our entire community. Please join me in welcoming him to WMS!
We now have a complete and solid administrative team with Ms. DiMaria, Mr. Pelletier, and Mr. Adams. Thank you for your continuing support of and engagement with Westbrook Middle School!
Take care,
Peter Lancia, Superintendent of Schools
I am pleased to announce that I will nominate Ms. Pattie DeMaria as the interim Principal at Westbrook Middle School for the 2026-27 school year at the School Committee meeting on Wednesday, September 9. Ms. DeMaria has served as our Assistant Principal since 2017. She has a deep commitment to WMS, our students, staff, and families. She is student centered and nurturing, equity minded, and instructionally focused. Her knowledge of the school and her positive attitude will keep our school moving forward with a focus on achievement, engagement, communication, and school culture. Ms. DeMaria will provide stability during this transition, maintain the momentum of current initiatives, and work collaboratively with staff and families to lead WMS forward this year.
We will launch a search for a permanent Principal this Winter.
I would also like to thank Dr. Christina Boursaw for her leadership of WMS over the past year. She has left a lasting contribution to our school community. Let’s all wish her well in her new role as Principal at Kennebunk Elementary School.
Thank you for your patience during this transition of leadership. I hope that your children are having a good start to the new school year.
Sincerely,
Peter Lancia, Ph. D.
Superintendent of Schools
