Beverly Middle School Principal Stepping Down
Matthew Poska, who has interviewed for high school principal positions in recent years, will resign at the end of the school year.
BEVERLY, MA — Beverly Middle School Principal Matthew Poska will resign at the end of the school year.
In a note to teachers and staff at the school, Poska said he is "actively pursuing other opportunities." While Poska did not indicate if he had accepted a position at a nother school, he said he wanted to give the district enough time to find his replacement.
Poska, 49, was named principal of Briscoe Middle School in 2006 and continued in the same position when Beverly Middle School opened at the start of the 2018-19 school year.
