Come meet Clinton School’s new principal, Patty O’Neill, on Monday, August 20 at 5:30 pm.  Pack a picnic, bring a blanket and join us on the front lawn of the school.  Leah Gomberg, our PTA President, will be providing the homemade desserts.

See you then!

We are delighted to announce that a new Clinton School principal was appointed at the Board of Education meeting on Monday, July 16th.

Our new principal, Patricia O’Neill, has an impressive educational career, most recently serving as a team leader at Maplewood Middle School. She has been an educator in the South Orange Maplewood School District since 1996 but her roots in the district go back much further. Ms. O’Neill is actually a 1974 graduate of Columbia High School, and was the first female class president in Columbia High School history.

The search process was expeditious yet rigorous, with more than 77 applicants interested in the position. Ms. O’Neill stood out in this crowded field for her impressive instructional leadership, her creative ideas, and her commitment to creating an educational environment in which all children can thrive.

Registration materials will be sent home soon after school begins and the session starts on Thursday, October 4th.

Remember summer reading lists are available on the district website.
