Good Afternoon Beverly Parents and families,
As I prepare to retire at the end of this month, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to have served the students and families of Beverly over the past 30 years. It has been a privilege to work alongside so many dedicated educators, staff, parents, and community members.
Reflecting on my journey, I am filled with pride and appreciation for every role I have held — teacher, early childhood facilitator, principal, assistant superintendent, and, ultimately, superintendent. Each position has allowed me to grow professionally and personally, and to make a positive impact on the lives of countless students.
I am especially proud of the leadership team we have built together over the past decade. Their commitment, vision and collaboration have helped shape Beverly Public Schools into a district that values excellence, equity, and community.
I am also grateful for the unwavering support Beverly Public Schools has received from our School Committee, city leaders, and the broader community. Your partnership has been instrumental in our success.
Most of all, I want to express my love for the students who have attended our schools during my time here. Their curiosity, resilience, and achievements fill me with immense pride. I look forward to seeing their continued successes in the future, knowing that Beverly’s children are in good hands.
While departing is bittersweet for me, I take heart in knowing Dr. Cushing will uphold the high standards we have set together.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this wonderful community. It has been the greatest honor of my professional life.
With heartfelt thanks,
Sue Charochak
Superintendent, Beverly Public Schools
