Continuing to highlight our retiring staff members, we are proud to honor Kathy Hally as she heads into retirement.

A graduate of Lesley University, Kathy began her teaching career in the early 1990s and never looked back. She taught first grade, multi-age first and second, and second grade before relocating from Downeast Maine to Southern Maine in 2016.

She joined MCS that same year as a Title 1 Literacy teacher, bringing her decades of classroom experience to students who needed it most. She will be dearly missed as she heads into her next chapter.

Congratulations and best wishes, Kathy!
