House began working at Marlborough Public Schools in 2012. She worked as an Art Teacher at the 1st Lt. Charles W. Whitcomb School and was later promoted to assistant principal. Right now, she serves as the principal of the school.

"In her time as principal of Whitcomb, Ms. House has proven to be an intentional and visionary leader, effectively guiding our middle school to significant levels of student growth and achievement," said Dr. Jason DeFalco, Superintendent of Marlborough Public Schools. “I’m excited to see her apply those same successful strategies to our district-wide teaching and learning practices.”

House graduated from Marlborough High School and holds a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Fitchburg State University.

The district said she will finish the current school year in her role as principal and will assume her new position on Jul. 1. The search for a new principal for Whitcomb Middle School will begin soon, WPS said.

In January, the school district granted a contract extension to Superintendent Jason DeFalco, who had been serving as the district's interim superintendent. The School Committee also appointed Mohammed Siddiqui as the new director of finance and operations during a January meeting.
