North Andover High School Principal Interviewing on Wednesday in Tewksbury

TEWKSBURY, MA - School officials plan to interview North Andover High School Principal Carla Scuzzarella on Wednesday night, and Tewksbury’s residents will likely find out Thursday if she will be selected as the new superintendent of schools.

Scuzzarellais one of four finalists for the open position. The current superintendent, John O’Connor, will retire at the end of this school year.

The field of nearly more than two dozen candidates was narrowed down to four finalists last month:

• Christopher Malone (current Revere Public Schools assistant superintendent)

• Thomas Martellone, principal of the Fiske Elementary School in Lexington

• Carla Scuzzarella, North Andover High School principal

• Patricia White-Lambright, assistant superintendent for pupil personnel services, Melrose Public Schools

Following recent site visits for all of the candidates, each finalist will be interviewed by School Committee members this week. Tuesday night they are interviewing Martellone, Wednesday night Scuzzarella and Malone and Thursday night White-Lambright.

According to the School Committee’s Thursday night meeting agenda, the board will deliberate who will be the new superintendent of schools.
