Norwalk Public Schools (Neag alum selected as school’s new principal)

Graduates of Bulkeley High School looked forward as they crossed the stage on Thursday, encouraged by peers and educators to never give up in the face of challenges. Principal Gayle Allen-Greene said she was at a crossroads, just like the students, as she is retiring this year after 20 years at Bulkeley, and 37 years in the Hartford public schools.

Sabin Loveland, principal at Global Experience Magnet School for the last six years, has accepted the principal’s position at Wamogo Regional High School, in Litchfield County.

A Redding principal will take over the top position at Noah Wallace School on July 1, Farmington public schools announced. Carrie Wessman Huber, current principal of Redding Elementary School, was selected at the end of a national search to replace Kelly Sanders, who served as principal of Noah Wallace for four years.

Congratulations to our Neag School alumni, faculty, staff, and students on their continued accomplishments inside and outside the classroom.

By state Department of Education standards, Kristina Wallace isn’t eligible to be chosen as Connecticut’s teacher of the year because she doesn’t work in a classroom. But that didn’t stop Wallace’s peers in the Windsor School District from naming her as its 2017-18 educator of the year.

Jean A. Wihbey introduced herself to Polk State College faculty, staff, students and the community with a simple statement: “We are here in an enterprise that changes people’s lives.”

“While constructs of equity and adequacy are realities we face everyday,” Nathan Quesnel responded, “I am disappointed and puzzled by the characterization of East Hartford Public Schools and teachers made by Secretary DeVos.”

The West Hartford Education Association named Luis Ramirez, a social worker at Smith STEM school for the past six years, the teacher of the year during a recognition dinner.

Longtime city educator and Bulkeley High School Principal Gayle Allen-Greene said Thursday that she is retiring after 37 years in the Hartford public schools.
