Sanford High School opened its doors just before Labor Day weekend to welcome back the classes of 2024, 2025, and 2026 and welcomed the class of 2027.

There are many new faces this year, but also familiar faces in new places. Some of the changes include:

• Dr. Amanda Doyle, Principal
• Michael Fallon, Assistant Principal
• Pete O’Brien, Social Studies
• Melissa Plattner, Special Education Social Work
• Sally Quarles, Attendance Coordinator

New faces at SHS, SRTC and Bridge include:

• Angel Simoneau, Art
• Anne Lantagne, BRIDGE
• Zachary Robinson, BRIDGE
• Aaron Stam, BRIDGE
• Paula Sheen-Kopp, BRIDGE
• Sharleen Shay, BRIDGE
• Ryan Geary, Chorus
• Matt Creamer, English
• Amie Felker, School Counseling
• Sarah Janosik, Science
• Kelly Jewell, Social Studies
• Jake Mills, Social Studies
• Randy White, Student Success Center
• Kathryn Pulley, Study Hall
• Susan Lombardo, Substance Abuse Counselor

Each class has been pulled into the Performing Arts Center (PAC) during Spartan Time each day to review the new faces, existing or new policies in place, clubs and activities to join, and other important reminders. Worth noting, the school has a new substance abuse counselor who can not only help students with drug or alcohol abuse and addiction, but will also be working with students who violate the school’s policies.

For students looking to pay class dues or get involved in Homecoming, they should reach out to their class advisors:

• 2024: Stephanie Boissoneault and Sarah Preston
• 2025: Laurie Works and Connor Biedelman
• 2026: Erin Murphy-Putnam and Brody Ford
• 2027: Ethan Mathieu and Caleb Randall

Also new this year is the schedule at the high school and SHS, which has moved to a five-block schedule, as shown below.

Good luck to all on a fantastic new school year!
