Superintendent's Statement on New Concord-Carlisle Principal

CONCORD, MA—Concord-Carlisle Regional High School hired Mike Mastrullo as its newest principal Friday.

Mastrullo currently serves as the principal of Groton-Dunstable High School, and formerly served as Tyngsboro's assistant principal. He will take the reigns of CCHS in July.

Superintendent Diana Rigby released a statement regarding the hiring.

It is my pleasure to announce the new principal for CCHS in July 2016, Mike Mastrullo, current principal of Groton-Dunstable High School. Mike will replace Principal Peter Badalament who is leaving to pursue educational consulting after a long career in school administration. Mike began his teaching career as a high school history teacher after his unique experiences in minor league baseball, private sector finance, and small business ownership. He served as the assistant principal in Tyngsboro for three years before he was hired as the Groton-Dunstable principal in 2011. For the past five years, Mike has been highly effective in building a school culture of respect, collaboration, and consensus according to the students, teachers, and parent community in Groton-Dunstable. He is a beloved principal and the Groton-Dunstable community is very sad that he is leaving. Mike was unanimously recommended by the selection committee, and the feedback from the reference checks, site visit, and public forum all confirmed that his excellent communication, collaboration, and consensus building skills are a great match for CCHS. I look forward to introducing Mike to the CCHS community during a reception in June.
