I look forward to developing relationships, whether it be by greeting students as they enter the building each day, having an open-door policy for communication, or getting into classrooms to see what the MASCO community does best, teaching and learning.”
“All of us at MASCO are very excited that Katherine and Christopher have joined the team at the high school,” said Superintendent Harvey. “They each bring a lot to the table, and we will greatly appreciate having their expertise and knowledge. Welcome to you both!”
