Greetings Grantham!
I’m writing today to say ‘hello’ and introduce myself as I begin my tenure as your Superintendent of Schools. I am honored and excited to have been selected to serve as the Superintendent of Schools in Grantham! I started my career in education in 1995 as an art teacher, moving through leadership roles both at the building level and district level over the past 29 years, most recently serving as Superintendent in the Monadnock Regional School District.
I live in Peterborough with my husband, Ed, and my daughter, Avery, and a menagerie of pets. Ed is the Chief at Peterborough Fire and Rescue, where I am also a firefighter and EMT. Avery is 14 and will be entering high school this fall. (And Mom is totally fine with that. Really.)
My primary objective over the next couple of months is to get to know Grantham, which includes getting to know our students and families. Just this morning, I saw many of you outside in the drop-off line, and I had the opportunity to meet students in their classrooms. I even got my first hug today! Be on the lookout for some structured opportunities to meet and greet over the next few months, but don’t feel that you need to wait - please feel free to reach out! You can send an email, give me a call, or set up a time to meet if you like.
Thank you!
Lisa A. Walker
