Welcome to Henry P. Clough Principal's Blog


I am so glad you decided to check out my Principal's Blog. I have had the privilege of working for the Mendon-Upton Regional School District for the past 16 years. I taught at Memorial School for 1 year and Clough School for 11 years, and spent four years as the Curriculum Director. My husband Brian and I live in Upton and have two girls, Erin and Meghan, who both went through the Mendon-Upton School District. I know firsthand what a strong district this is. I am excited to be the principal of Clough Elementary School.

I believe communication is vital. It is my goal to keep the lines of communication open with students, staff, parents, and the community. I will use this blog as a vehicle to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on at Henry P. Clough Elementary School.

I look forward to a productive year where we all work together to ensure our students receive the best education possible in a caring and safe environment.

Best Regards,
Janice Gallagher

Rachel's Challenge



We will also be holding a Rachel's Challenge full content presentation (this will include footage and discussion on Columbine) at Memorial School at 7:00 pm on October 6th for parents of Clough and Memorial Parents as well as for any community members who wish to attend. This emotional presentation is for ADULTS only; absolutely no students/children will be allowed to see the presentation. Please make every attempt to see this program! I promise you, it will be worth getting a babysitter so you can see this presentation. Words just can’t explain what you will take away with you from this presentation. I have already seen the adult program twice and plan on attending next week’s presentation as well. The presentation and positive message is powerful and inspirational.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our two Physical Education teachers, Chrissy Horn and Dan Hayes who wrote the grant to bring Rachel’s Challenge to the elementary schools. Additionally, I can’t thank the Mendon Upton Education Foundation enough for approving to fund this grant and for supporting this huge event for our students.
