New Superintendent Starts His First Day On The Job At Fugett Middle School!
The Fugett staff and students felt incredibly fortunate and honored that our new Superintendent, Dr. David Christopher, checked in with us during his first day in West Chester! Dr. Christopher witnessed first-hand the magic happening every day at Fugett. While he was only able to enter a few classrooms, Dr. Christopher commented specifically about the nurturing school climate and welcoming culture we are cultivating at Fugett. We look forward to more opportunities to put on display our wonderful community and young scholars here at Fugett.
