Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It has been my great honor and privilege to have served as the principal of Flagg Street School for the last four years. For 35 years I have held many roles in the Worcester Public Schools but the role as principal has definitely been my favorite!

The time has come for me to retire. It was a challenging decision to make. Although I will be happy to have some additional unstructured time, I will miss seeing the faces of our students daily. It has been inspiring to work with the staff who are dedicated and determined to meet the needs of all students. The support received from parents and the community has been unmatched. Thank you.

The Flagg Street School community is strong and will continue to grow and thrive. I am confident that the district will share information about the process to find the next school principal for Flagg Street School.

With respect and appreciation,

Patricia M. Genese, M.Ed., CAGS
Principal
