Gibbons Elementary Names Next Principal
After 12 years as the assistant principal at O'Donnell, David Guglia was named the next principal at Gibbon Elementary.
STOUGHTON, MA — Gibbons Elementary School has hired its next principal, and its a familiar face in the Stoughton School District. David Guglia was named the elementary school's next principal, and although O'Donnell Middle School Principal Matthew Colantonio is proud, he's going to miss him being the middle school's assistant principal, a position Guglia has held for the last 12 years.
Guglia worked on the O'Donnell Middle school faculty for 17 years and was the definition of what it means to be a Stoughton Knight. He grew up in Stoughton, graduated from the high school, competed against the eighth graders in the students versus faculty basketball game, and much more.
"We will miss him, but it is nice to know he will still be in the town he loves so much, Stoughton," Colantonio said in his school newsletter. "One of Mr. Guglia's favorite jokes is that he went to elementary, middle, and high school in Stoughton and would have gone to Stoughton University if there was one."
