Good Morning City Hill Families – this is City Hill Middle School Principal Brian Hendrickson.

I hope everyone is enjoying the remaining days of summer as we all gear up for the start of another great school year. It is with very mixed emotions that I share some bittersweet news.

On Tuesday, August 18th I was appointed to the position of Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction with Suffield Public Schools.

Again, this is bittersweet news for me to share as I have truly enjoyed my time in Naugatuck over the past seven years.

I have had the privilege to serve Naugatuck students and families at both the elementary and middle school level. Words cannot completely capture the deep appreciation I have for my time in Naugatuck working with students and their families and I am also extremely grateful and fortunate to have worked with such a talented, committed, dedicated and caring group of educators at Hop Brook Elementary School and City Hill Middle School.

A formal transition plan is underway regarding the process for selecting the next principal of City Hill. In the meantime, planning for the start of school has also been underway and assistant principals Lisa LaChance, Deanna Chuka and myself are working hard to ensure a seamless and enjoyable start of school.

Again, this is bittersweet news to share and words cannot truly capture the deep appreciation for my time in Naugatuck.
