Newtown school board fills two top posts
The Newtown Board of Educationfilled two top administrative positions Tuesday, hiringPomperaug High School Principal Lorrie Rodrigue as the new principal of Newtown High School and giving interim John Reed Intermediate SchoolAssistant Principal Jill Beaudry the job on a permanent basis.
"I'm the happiest person in the room right now," said Rodrigue, whose selection represented a homecoming to the school where she was an assistant principal from 2000 to 2005.
Both women were approved by a unanimous voice vote, and their selections drew applause from the approximately 50 people who attended the meeting.
Rodrigue, an Oxford resident, began her career in education in 1990, teaching English at Broadview Middle School in Danbury before she was hired as a middle school teacher in Newtown in 1992.
After eight years teaching middle school and high school English there, Rodrigue was promoted to high school assistant principal.
She left the district to become the middle school principal at Shepaug Valley Middle-High School in 2005, then principal at Pomperaug High School in Southbury from 2008 to the present.
Rodrigue earned her doctorate in educational leadership in 2013.
"I felt compelled to come back to a district where I learned so much over the years, and that I respected for so long," she said.
Rodrigue replaces Charles "Chip" Dumais, who accepted a position as superintendent of the Amity school district earlier this school year.
Beaudry, who lives in Newtown, has been a teacher since 1983, working in California and West Hartford before joining the staff at Reed in 2004. She initially taught in the gifted and talented program there.
She was named interim assistant principal at the beginning of the current school year, and several members of the school staff were on hand to offer their congratulations.
Although both her husband and son were out of town and unable to attend, Beaudry said she felt "like my family, my extended family, are with me tonight."
Schools Superintendent Joseph Erardi praised both new administrators, saying the school board was fortunate that the candidates interviewed for the high school job were of such high caliber and that he was "absolutely convinced" that Beaudry and Principal Anne Uberti would form an "outstanding team" at Reed.
