Greenwich School Administrator Takes Job In Darien

GREENWICH, CT — Kathleen (Kat) Brunswick, Assistant Principal at North Mianus School in Greenwich, is leaving the district to take a special education teaching position at Tokeneke Elementary School in Darien, she announced this week.

Her last day with Greenwich Public Schools will be Sept. 14, and the search for an Assistant Principal for North Mianus School will begin immediately. She served in the position for the past two years.

"My time at North Mianus and with the Greenwich Public Schools has been filled with wonderful memories that I will take with me forever," said Brunswick in a statement. "The staff at NMS and those colleagues with whom I have worked across the District are truly one in a million and some of the best educators I have ever worked with. They each bring a strength and skill set to this District which benefits the students of the Greenwich Public Schools."

Added North Mianus School Principal Angela Schmidt, "Kat is a consummate professional who always put the needs of children first. In her time at North Mianus School, parents and staff found her to be a caring and dedicated Assistant Principal devoted to ensuring all students had opportunities to be successful. Kat introduced North Mianus Cares enabling students to see connections between the school and the greater community. From making lunch for the homeless to visiting a local nursing home, Kat helped students live the Vision of the Graduate and develop the skills needed to become citizens of the world. She will be greatly missed by our whole school community."
