2024-2025 Teacher of the Year

Congratulations to  Naubuc Elementary School Kindergarten Teacher Mrs. Carol Lemieux, the Glastonbury Public Schools 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year.  For 26 years Mrs. Lemieux has captivated young students with her positive, calm, and joyous demeanor and her early childhood teaching expertise. 

A champion of purposeful play, Mrs. Lemieux helps her young learners take on new challenges without fear. Throughout the school year she works to load up her students’ “tool belts” with academic, emotional, and social skills. Building classroom community is a fundamental benchmark for Mrs. Lemieux.  "We support and celebrate life's ups and downs together," she says.

Mrs. Lemieux was also recently selected as a CT State Teacher of the Year Semifinalist! Eight of the last ten Glastonbury Public Schools Teachers of the Year have been selected as state semifinalists.  

Go Guardians!

Thank you to the  GHS Student Council for organizing the  fall sports pep rally!

New Assistant Superintendent

Dr. Scott Hurwitz has been appointed Glastonbury Public Schools’ new Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and Administration. He replaces Matt Dunbar, who was recently appointed Superintendent of Suffield Public Schools. Hurwitz is familiar with our district as he successfully served as a building administrator for Gideon Welles School from 2012-2018, first as Assistant Principal and then as Interim Principal for one year. Hurwitz left Glastonbury to become a middle school principal in Farmington and then served as their high school principal. In 2022, Hurwitz was appointed Farmington Public Schools Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations.  Dr. Hurwitz will be an immediate asset to our school community as we work together to support students to reach their highest potential.

The Naubuc School community is thrilled with the school's renovated second floor. The project replaced the formerly open space with 12 large modern classrooms with sinks, cabinets, windows, and walls!  We thank the Naubuc School community for their patience and support during the renovation.


GHS Strength & Conditioning Center

Construction of the GHS Strength and Conditioning Center began during the summer.  The construction area near the junior parking lot is fenced off to ensure safety. We expect the center will be ready for student use by late November. 


Purposeful Technology Use

The district recently presented a Purposeful Technology Use report to the Board of Education. It includes technology use guidelines that promote active learning and prioritize student well-being. The technology use guidelines will be in place for the 2024-2025 school year.
