Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bill McKersie has announced the appointment of Dr. E. Ann Carabillo as Deputy Superintendent, effective July 1, 2016. Dr. Carabillo is currently the Chief Academic Officer for the Consolidated School District of New Britain, CT.
“I am very excited to bring my passion for continuous learning to support the pathways toward success for the students, educators, support staff and community in Greenwich,” Dr. Carabillo said. “I very much look forward to meeting all of you and jointly continuing the good work already underway in the Greenwich Public Schools.”
With over fifteen years experience in school administration, twenty years experience in a variety of teaching capacities, and a track record of continuous improvement, Dr. Carabillo is well poised to assume the role of Deputy Superintendent of the Greenwich Public Schools (GPS). In this position, she will supervise the K-8 schools, school improvement planning, the summer school program, and the teacher evaluation program, among numerous other responsibilities.
“Dr. Ann Carabillo promises to be a superb leader for the Greenwich Public Schools,” said outgoing Greenwich Schools Superintendent Dr. McKersie. “We have landed a veteran administrator and teacher of diverse expertise (music and special education), known for her dedication to the academic success of all students. Dr. Carabillo also wins plaudits for her record of promoting the social and emotional well-being of students. Greenwich will benefit from what her colleagues describe as her “insightful, intelligent, passionate and even-keel” leadership style.”
Dr. Carabillo was selected as Deputy Superintendent from among many highly qualified candidates, after a comprehensive search process, which included widespread recruitment efforts, multiple interviews, and extensive reference and background checks.
