New principal just getting started

NEWBURY—Loretta Cruz, the new principal at the Newbury Elementary School, began on July 1. She succeeds Morgan Moore who left the school after two years.
Since then, Cruz has been working with a small group of staff to get the building ready for the students to arrive on Aug. 26, which is the first day of school. That’s when Cruz will finally get to meet most of the students.
Cruz has spent the last 17 years in a number of educator roles, according to her resume. She earned her principal’s certification from the Upper Valley Educators Institute in 2018, but NES is the first time she has been a school principal.
