Welcome! I invite you to browse my blog posts!

In every entry I discuss areas of our educational practice and programming. I aim to highlight what our staff and students do every day, and to give families and community information about how we are serving Belmont. We have an amazing school community with a tremendous amount of activity in every school in Belmont. I am proud to share it through this blog and the BPS website.

Belmont Superintendent's Blog - June 22, 2026

June is graduation season. On June 6, I had the privilege of greeting our graduating BHS seniors as they crossed the stage, and on June 4, I was honored to celebrate the graduation of our LABBB students. These ceremonies mark the culmination of 13 years of elementary and secondary education and were just two of the many graduations celebrated this month. Graduation touched many members of our Belmont community,  whether celebrating their own accomplishment or that of a child, sibling, family member, or friend.

I am always struck by the significance of this moment. For all of our students, graduation represents years of hard work, perseverance, and growth. It marks the journey from young children learning foundational skills and concepts to young adults who can think critically, engage with complex ideas, and better understand who they are and how they want to contribute to the world. For families, this milestone reflects years of unwavering support, patience, encouragement, and love through every success, challenge, and moment in between. And for educators, it is a reminder of the profound impact they have in helping students develop not only academically, but also as people.
