FRAMINGHAM, MA — Alana Cyr has been named the next Principal of Potter Road Elementary School. Cyr will start in the role on July 1, the district announced.

"I was fortunate to spend quality time with Ms. Cyr during her visit at Potter Road Elementary School," said Superintendent Robert Tremblay.

"Like many members of the Potter Road community, I was impressed with Ms. Cyr’s warm and enthusiastic interactions with students and staff as well as with her evidenced commitment to elementary education throughout her career.
