Milford Narrows Down Candidates For Principal of Stacy Middle

MILFORD, MA — Milford Public Schools are on the hunt for a new principal and assistant principal of Stacy Middle School. Principal Nancy Angelini will be stepping out of her current role after being appointed the Director of Grants, Technology and Media. The district has narrowed the candidate list for principal down to three people and assistant principal to four people.

The candidates were interviewed by an interview committee last week. The committee consists of parent and guardian volunteers as well as school officials.

Among the candidates for principal is Stacy Middle School's current assistant principal, Nadine Clifford. She took over as assistant principal in August when Dawn Craig, the former assistant principal, retired. Before coming to Stacy, Clifford was the associate principal at the Walker School in Needham, a private special education residential and day school for children in grades Pre-K-8.

The other two candidates are Kevin O'Rourke and Tahon Ross.

In the running for assistant principal is Tim Fauth, the assistant principal at Grafton Middle School, as well as Jennifer Chen Fein, a resident principal at Boston Public Schools. James Heffron, a social studies teacher in Boston Public Schools and Sarah Sawyers are also candidates for the position.

A community forum will be held Monday night for staff as well as parents and guardians. People are encouraged to give their opinions of the candidates for both positions. The forum about the assistant principal position will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the forum for the principal position will be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Stacy Middle School principal Nancy Angelini will start in her new position on July 1 where she will be responsible for grant writing and management, directing and overseeing the technology department and media and public relations.

Angelini was principal since 2005 and before that was Assistant Principal of Milford High School for four years.
