Welcome Back Message
from Dr. Gilligan
Dear North Andover Community,
I hope you are all relaxing and enjoying the summer break. I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of our students, staff, and families to the 2021-2022 school year and provide some important updates and information.
Our Mission
The mission of the North Andover Public Schools is to cultivate a respectful community of engaged learners, insightful thinkers, and effective communicators. We do this by providing a vibrant learning community for students in grades preschool through 12. We are committed to ensuring that all of our students are provided an equal opportunity to an excellent education. Our hope is that the strong educational foundation our students receive will allow them to access numerous opportunities beyond our walls.
