Congratulations to our 2022 Retirees!
On June 15, 2022, our newest retirees were honored at our School Committee meeting for their commitment to our district during their time here in Narragansett. Each recipient was given a token of appreciation for their hard work and their respective department lead shared a few words about the impact they made within our schools.
Superintendent Dr. Peter Cummings also shared a special thanks to our retiring NPS Principal, Marianne Kirby. Her time here was extremely impactful as she helped evolve our middle school in the more than 10 years she has spent dedicated to it.
Congratulations to all our honorees and we wish them a wonderful retirement with many beach days ahead!

New Narragansett High School Assistant Principal!
Please join us in welcoming Conor McCloskey, our new Assistant Principal of Narragansett High School!
Mr. McCloskey was officially appointed at a special School Committee Meeting on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. He was presented with a variety of Mariner gear and spoke a few words about his excitement in becoming a part of the Mariner family.
McCloskey most recently served within the Lincoln School district and for the past 8 years, held leadership positions such as the PBGR (Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirement) Coordinator, where he focused on progressing the district's CTE programs and education standards and was a Social Studies teacher.
A graduate of Rhode Island College, he received his Masters of Education in School Leadership from Providence College. He strongly believes in collaboration and that a school best serves its students
when school leaders facilitate collective decision-making and take ownership of the climate and culture of
the building.
Superintendent Dr. Peter Cummings stated, “We are extremely fortunate to have found a passionate candidate such as Conor to help fill this crucial position as it relates to the growth of our programs and overall school community. His eagerness to begin collaborative work with students and staff will result in many successes for our entire district and we look forward to welcoming him for the new school year."
McCloskey officially starts on July 18th and looks forward to offering his experience, dedication, and skills to the faculty of Narragansett High School as well as learning from and working with the Principal and district administrators. He and his wife reside in Coventry and are expecting their first child soon.

A Summer Message from Principal Wilson
Dear NES Parents,
I would like to wish you a wonderful summer and take this time to thank you for your ongoing support in partnering with us to educate your child(ren). Narragansett Elementary School is a special place, and I am continually grateful for the parents, staff and students that help make this school a wonderful place to be- often referred to as Utopia.
Over the summer I hope you get some time to spend with the kids- beaching, relaxing and having fun. Encourage your kids to continue to read, read, read and practice math facts while on the road with you.
The local library has a fabulous summer reading program- please check it out. I used to bring my daughter when she was elementary school age, especially since she was motivated to read all summer. Please limit screen time and monitor their use of TikTok and YouTube, both sites can lead kids into material that is not appropriate for their age level.
I will be at school should you need anything. We will be working on schedules, rooms and reorganization to prepare for the school year ahead. Remember to be on the lookout for the notorious “ red cards” in the mail mid-August which will share your child's new class placement.
Have a GREAT Summer! See you in the fall!!
Sincerely,
Lisa Wilson

Cross Country boys started off with a Division Title and the State Cross Country Baseball. NPS also had 2 teams finish as RI State runner ups, Boys Basketball and Tennis. There were nearly a dozen individual place winners, top five or better in the state in 3 different sports.
All Student athletes were invited to the Sports Boosters Ice Cream Social and Awards night where everyone present was recognized. We said goodbye to Principal Kirby and Nurse Fair by naming them both to the NPS All-State team. They are the first two ever named!
The top student athletes award the Katie Decubellis Sportsmanship award at the end of the night were Aidan Clancey, Luke Lamson, Olivia Citrone, and Payton Abrams. They were presented with plaques by John and Meg Decubellis.
