Both of these candidates thoroughly impressed the hiring committee and the school community during the selection process.  I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for all those who participated in the process either as part of the hiring committees or by attending the public forums and interviews.  Please welcome Ms. Martin and Ms. Whitmore as they begin their journey in the Watertown Public Schools.
