It is an honor to serve as the new Principal of the James Otis School, a community that has been my professional home for the past 15 years. Throughout that time, I have witnessed firsthand the strong partnerships, high expectations, and unwavering commitment to students that make the Otis such a special place. I am grateful to build upon the strong foundation established by Ms. Goncalves and continue the work of supporting every child in a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.
As we look to the future, my priority is to listen, learn, and work alongside our students, families, educators, and community partners. Together, we will build on the many strengths of our school, deepen relationships, and continue creating opportunities for every student to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. My goal is to foster a school community where every student is known, every family is a valued partner, every staff member feels supported, and everyone experiences a true sense of belonging. By working together, we will ensure that all students have access to high quality learning experiences that prepare them for future success. Thank you for your trust and partnership. I look forward to the year ahead and to continuing the important work of serving the James Otis community together. Katharine Pagano Principal James Otis Elementary School |
