MATTAPOISETT — Assistant Principal Charles West was selected as the next Principal of Center School.
West is set to begin the role July 1, pending on contract negotiations that are ongoing.
West served as the Assistant Principal at Rochester Memorial School for 13 years and worked for over two decades in the Old Rochester Regional School District and Massachusetts Superintendency Union #55.
He will assume the role of Principal following the retirement of Dr. Linda Ashley.
In his current role, he oversees operations, staff and works with families to maintain a positive school environment.
He was also a Co-Director of Center School’s SAIL summer program, where he fostered deep student engagement for many years.
West has a strong understanding of elementary students’ academic, social and emotional needs thanks to his background in school social work, administration and mental health services.
His experience shapes a school environment that emphasizes not only academic success, but also student well-being.
The district will begin the search for Rochester Memorial School’s next assistant principal in the coming weeks.
