Oneida City School District

Dear Willard Prior Families,

I would like to formally introduce myself as your new principal. I am incredibly honored to be joining the Willard Prior team as I, myself, am a graduate of Willard Prior Elementary and Oneida High School! I have so many fond memories of Willard Prior as a student, and I look forward to returning as building principal. For the past two school years I served as the building principal of Albany Elementary School in the Utica City School District. Prior to that, I worked as Educational Technology Leader at Madison-Oneida BOCES, and taught Spanish at Stockbridge Valley Central School District. I am incredibly grateful that my career has finally brought me home to Oneida.

I very much look forward to meeting you and your children. I cannot overstate the importance of a strong home to school connection, and I am confident that by working together as a team, we will ensure your child has the best possible education. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to a wonderful school year full of learning. Don't forget to read, read, read this summer!
