Public interviews of all three candidates are scheduled for Jan. 28-30 at the Kiley School.
All three finalists for the job of Peabody High Principal boast an impressive resume of experience in public education. Peabody native Eric Buckley, who is currently the assistant principal at PVMHS, has worked in the district for 22 years, starting out as a full-time substitute teacher. Except for a year as an eighth grade U.S. history teacher and cross country and track coach at Higgins Middle School, Buckley has spent his entire career at the high school in both teaching and administrative roles. He's also coached Little League, been a member of the Peabody Historical Society and a mainstay in the Peabody Relay for Life. Buckley, himself, is a cancer survivor. He was promoted to Assistant Principal in 2007 when Ed Sapienza was tapped to…

Among the finalists is current assistant principal Eric Buckley. The other two candidates are administrators from outside districts.
The pool of candidates to take the helm at Peabody Veterans Memorial High School has been narrowed down to three finalists. Superintendent Joe Mastrocola informed the School Committee Tuesday night that he would be publicly interviewing those candidates Jan. 28-30 at the Kiley School. The finalists recommended by the PVMHS principal screening committee are: Buckley, who has been the Assistant Principal at PVMHS for several years, is a Peabody native and graduate of Bishop Fenwick. He is also a cancer survivor. Mastrocola did not have resumes immediately available at Tuesday night's meeting on each candidate. He did, however, say he felt all three were "excellent candidates to move forward with" and praised the screening committee led by …

Mastrocola says he hopes to have new high school principal on board for July 1. Principal searches also underway for Carroll and South elementary schools.
Peabody Schools Superintendent Joe Mastrocola says the current pool of candidates for the high school principal job just confirms that it was the right decision last summer to keep Ed Sapienza on for one more year. Sapienza had retired in June, but then agreed to stay on for another year in an interim capacity, as a full-fledged effort was launched to find a permanent hire. Mastrocola declined to comment on the candidates thus far (the application deadline closed on Friday), other than to say the pool was competitive and contained qualified people for the job. He informed the School Committee Tuesday night that 13 people had applied and a screening committee, which also included five high school students, would narrow down that list and …

You can't compare Peabody to Lynnfield and North Reading. What is the median household income in Peabody compared to these cities? How much more do these cities pay teachers than in Peabody? Do these cities invest more in schools than Peabody does? All are factors that shouldn't be ignored. Putting in some "new guy" won't fix the problem. We have to change the culture of our city..which starts by… more ›
