Memo to Staff and Community

Date: July 2, 2025
To: North Andover Public Schools Staff and Community
From: Pamela Lathrop, Superintendent
Subject: School Committee Reorganization and Leadership Update

At the June 12th School Committee meeting, the Committee held its annual reorganization. I would like to take this opportunity to thank former Chairperson Alissa Samz (Koenig) for her dedicated leadership over the past year. Ms. Samz stepped into the role at a time when our district was facing significant challenges, and she skillfully led the Committee through those difficult times with focus, determination, and compassion.

In addition to her leadership in creating and overseeing the school budget, Ms. Samz was deeply committed to advancing a strong curriculum and building a district where all students can excel. We are grateful for her thoughtful leadership and service to the North Andover community.

I am pleased to share the newly elected School Committee leadership:

• Chair: Mr. Joe Hicks
   
• Vice Chair: Ms. Kelly Cormier
   
• Clerk:  Mr. David Brown
   

We look forward to working with Mr. Hicks, Ms. Cormier, and Mr. Brown as we continue to strengthen North Andover Public Schools.

Thank you for your continued support.

Pamela Lathrop, Superintendent
