Natick Principal Moves to Milford Schools

MILFORD, MA — Originally a finalist for the position of principal at the Woodland School, Dr. Matthew Joseph's obvious strengths in the area of instructional technology led officials to hire him for another position in the Milford Public Schools.

Incoming Milford Superintendent Dr. Kevin McIntyre announced that Dr. Matthew Joseph accepted the position of Director of Information Technology, Digital Learning, and Innovation for the Milford Public Schools.

“Dr. Joseph has tremendous expertise with instructional technology and implementing blended learning initiatives in schools,” said Dr. McIntyre in a statement. “With more than ten years of experience as an instructional leader in two school systems, he understands the functions and importance of a robust network to support student learning. Dr. Joseph has all of the attributes and skills to lead and integrate technology for the Milford Public Schools as we build and implement a new technology infrastructure and begin a district-wide blended learning initiative.”

Dr. Matthew Joseph currently serves as the Principal at Memorial Elementary School in Natick, a position he has held for the past five years, said the announcement. Prior to that, he worked as an elementary principal in Attleboro, Mass. Dr. Joseph led the implementation of the first 1:1 device roll out in a public school in Massachusetts more than a decade ago. He frequently is requested to speak at state and regional conferences on topics related to educational technology. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree from Springfield College, his Master’s Degree from the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and will graduate in May 2016 with his Doctorate in Education from Boston College.
