Mr. Gregory Lamothe Appointed Principal of Plymouth River Elementary School
At the conclusion of the 2020-2021 school year there were some administrative shifts at Plymouth River Elementary School. These changes resulted in the appointment of then PRS Assistant Principal, Ms. Charleen Fabrizio, to the position of Elementary Administrator of Special Education. Ms. Melissa Smith was then appointed to the position of PRS Assistant Principal, and Mr. Gregory Lamothe was appointed to the role of Interim Principal at PRS. As the year progressed, Mr. Lamothe has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and done an outstanding job in his new role. It has also become clear that he is the right fit for the PRS faculty, staff, and community.

In 2015 Mr. Lamothe departed Newton to assume the role of Assistant Principal of the Susan B. Anthony Middle School in Revere. He served in this role until his departure for the Dever Elementary School in 2018. Further, Mr. Lamothe is also an Adjunct Professor of Education at the University of Massachusetts at Boston where he supervises students in the CAGS Leadership Program and teaches a graduate course on Behavior and Classroom Management.
