It is with great enthusiasm to share that Mrs. Kristie Clark has been appointed as MMS Principal. Mrs. Clark has been a valued member of the KIDS (RSU 2) team for 8 years. Presently, Kristie serves as our district’s Assistant Superintendent.
Prior to her role as Assistant Superintendent, Kristie served as Principal of Hall-Dale Elementary school for four years, and she was named Maine’s NAESP National Distinguished Principal of the Year for 2021. Before coming to KIDS, Kristie began her education career as a grades 1-2 Looping Teacher at Montello Elementary School in Lewiston. In 2011 she started her leadership journey as Assistant Principal at the Geiger Elementary School and then served as the Director for English Language Learners for the Lewiston School Department. In 2014, Mrs. Clark was named the Principal of the James B Longley Elementary School where she stayed until becoming the Principal of Hall-Dale Elementary School. Mrs. Clark was a Teacher of the Year Nominee in 2001, was awarded a Milken National Educator Award in 2010, and received the 2026 President’s Award from the Maine Administrators of Services for Children with Disabilities (MADSEC).
In making this timely decision, Kristie's proven leadership, familiarity with our school community, and dedication to learner success are key factors in this appointment. While Kristie is a familiar face, she will of course be settling into this new role over the coming weeks, and I know she will appreciate your support and patience during the transition.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
Rick
