Dr. Perrigan said, "I am originally from Bristol and my entire family lives in that area. This was a very difficult decision to make but family always has to come first." He also says he will miss the people that he has met in this area. Perrigan stated that the students, staff, and community are the best he has ever worked with. He will miss watching the students learn and grow the most. Dr. Perrigan enjoyed working in Norton, and working with the students was his favorite part of his job. He hopes to take some ideas from Norton with him to Bristol, including how Norton uses Twitter to get information out to the students and the use of project based learning.Our new superintendent will be Mrs. Gina Wohlford, currently the principal of NEMS. Dr. Perrigan would like to give Mrs. Gina some words of wisdom: "Always ask yourself what is best for the kids." He hopes Norton remembers him as a superintendent who always made the students his first priority. Here are some words or wisdom for the students: " You are getting a top notch education in Norton, use what you learn to solve tomorrow's problems by creating new and innovative solutions. Finally, Dr. Perrigan stated, "I loved working in Norton. It has been one of my most valuable professional experiences."
