Dear Families, My name is Mary Maxfield, and I am incredibly proud to be the principal of the Lucretia and Joseph Brown School! I come to Marblehead with a variety of teaching, administrative and learning experiences. In my years in the field of education I have been a para-educator, a tutor, a classroom teacher, a guidance counselor, a consultant and presenter, an Assistant Principal and a principal. My most recent work as principal has been developing academic and social emotional Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for students, building and maintaining positive and thriving school cultures, and all things communication. As the Brown School's instructional leader, I am proud of the work our staff does to improve student achievement in a respectful environment. Indeed, I am very grateful to have such an outstanding staff to support our team effort. Among the many goals we have for our school and district is to provide consistency and communication to our PK-3 families. Because the PK-3 population is the only group of students that attend two different schools in Marblehead, the Glover principal, and I will be working together closely to bring all PK-3 Marblehead families consistent communication and increased understanding of curriculum, instruction, events and activities. The Marblehead community has been incredibly supportive in my first years as principal. I look forward to meeting you as we continue our mission in education together. I am thrilled to be part of the Marblehead Education Community, and I look forward to our goal to provide all children with an engaging education in a safe and respectful environment. Mary
