I would like to thank all of the families, staff, students, and community members who make Mashpee such a special place to be!

As the new principal of MMHS, I can honestly say that Mashpee is a wonderful community. All of you have been warm and welcoming (even when you're upset 😅) and I am grateful for your patience, kindness, and cooperation during our school's transition into new leadership. As a school, we still have a lot of work to do, but I come to work every day knowing that I have the absolute BEST people on my team. YOU included. I am thankful for each and every one of you. Thank you for being part of our community!

I hope you do something you love over the short holiday break. Please know that our school staff needs a break to recharge, too. If you reach out to any of us between Wednesday-Sunday, November 27th - December 1st, we will not likely get back to you until we return to school on Monday, December 2nd.

Have an amazing break!

Greetings Mashpee Middle-High School students and families!
