Dear Port Monmouth Elementary School Community,
I am writing to inform you of my recommendation to appoint Mrs. Maureen McCormack to the
position of Principal of Port Monmouth Elementary School. Mrs. McCormack participated in a
rigorous selection process and was the successful candidate. The Board of Education will vote
on my recommendation at its May 23rd voting meeting.
Over the past four years Mrs. McCormack has served as Dean of Students and Operations at the
Charles H. Bullock Elementary School in the Montclair Public School District. Prior to
assuming an administrative position, Mrs. McCormack was an elementary classroom teacher
leader for 19 years. She was twice selected to receive the Judy and Josh Weston Award for
Excellence in Teaching, which honors local educators for creativity, high expectations, energy
and concern for students. Mrs. McCormack brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that
will further enhance the school’s academic and social-emotional initiatives.
Mrs. Katzgrau will continue to serve as the Port Monmouth Principal through July 1, 2017 and
will work closely with Mrs. McCormack over the next month to ensure a successful transition.
Information regarding a Staff and Community Meet and Greet with Mrs. McCormack will be
shared once a date is finalized.
Sincerely,
William O. George III, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
