MILFORD, MA — Milford Public Schools announced that it has three new assistant principals for the school year. Stacy Middle, Brookside Elementary and Memorial Elementary all welcomed new assistant principals as the new school year began.

Chris Kaulbfliesch joins Stacy Middle School after serving in the army, working as a special education teacher for seven years and serving as assistant principal at Holbrook Junior/Senior High School. He took over from Interim Assistant Principal Dawn Craig.

“I want to learn from the amazing administrative team at Stacy,” said Kaulbfliesch. “I want my students and families to know that I am here for them, and I will make sure their students are happy and enjoying their time at Stacy.”

At Brookside Elementary School, Rachel Ritchie took over from Dr. Nicola Ansdell, who left this past summer. Ritchie attended the University of Pennsylvania and taught for about a decade in Newton.

“I’m excited to join a district that celebrates cultural diversity and recognizes the incredible strengths that students and families bring to our schools," Ritchie said. "What drew me to Milford is the strong sense of community and the way the district honors multilingualism, identity, and connection. As a school leader, I strive to create a learning environment where every child feels they belong and has the support they need to thrive."

Leigh-Ann Evans took over at Memorial School for Samantha Hinnant, who became principal in Plainville last spring. Evans had been a classroom teacher for 18 years, an academic tutor and a curriculum assistant. She was previously Vice Principal and a mathematics instructional coach at Framingham Public Schools.

“It is important to me that we build a family-school relationship with open communication to ensure the success of all of our students.” said Evans. “I feel strongly about advocating for what is best for students. This in turn inspires teachers and their ability to facilitate learning in the classroom."
