Next Year at KCC!

As you may or may not know, Kenneth C. Coombs School Principal Debra Goulart is retiring at the end of the current school year, creating a leadership opening at the Coombs School.  Quashnet Principal MaryKate O’Brien will be assuming the role of Principal at the Coombs School for school year 23-24, providing us with a very unique opportunity to better align our elementary schools.  Brian Prehna will continue to serve in his role as the Assistant Principal at the Coombs School next year.  The Quashnet School principal position has been posted.  We anticipate assembling an interview committee for this very important role.
