Contact for Military Families

Dear Military-Connected Students and Families,

Welcome to Kenmore Middle School! Our staff is eager to meet you and support your successful transition as you integrate into our campus community of thriving learners. We are committed to providing excellent educational opportunities to ensure all students served can reach their maximum potential. My name is Cherita Harrad, one of the Assistant Principals at Kenmore, and I am the campus point of contact for military students and families. You can email me at [email protected]s

We have a team dedicated to helping you and your child transition into or out of Kenmore.  These staff include:

• Kaitlin Bresnahan, Director of Counseling
• Emily Harvey, Registrar
• Andy Paparella, Civics and Economics teacher (also deployed OIF ‘06-’07 to Baghdad, U.S. Army Reserve, 37F. Time in Service: 2002-2010)

We look forward to working with you as you enter a new education setting!

Sincerely,

Christine Joy, Assistant Principal
