Erin Maguire, Country School Principal, Now WPS’s Longest Duration Administrator
Good morning, Weston! Please take time today to wish Erin Maguire, Principal of Country School, one of our K-3 elementary schools, a happy time at the top of the podium of administrators. In other words, and with a subtle announcement a la Weston, Dr. Lee McCanne, who had the longest run as an administrator of any in Weston Public Schools, has left the building. Specifically, he has left Case House after 16 years in our fair town, and takes on a mega role of CIO of Cambridge Public Schools. While I would not have expected a farewell party (well, okay, maybe–that’s a long time in Case House years), I would have liked to have thanked Lee for all his support of our kids’ technology challenges. I will not forget that when we escaped Weston during the hybrid covid school year, and could not get online from Brazil, Lee worked pretty much half the night to get the owlets online. I like problem solvers.
