I am proud to announce Principal JJ Munoz has been offered entrance into the Harvard Educational Doctoral Program. I have truly enjoyed working alongside JJ this past year, he is truly one of a kind. He is loved by the Bates School Community, has been a leader in the principal cabinet, and a member of the DESE Influence 100 Program for future school leaders. Please join me in wishing him well as he enters this new lifetime opportunity. I know he will be a great success and a wonderful addition to this prestigious program. – Kathleen Smith, Superintendent
