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

I would like to thank the Mendon and Upton parents and the Mendon Community  for your encouragement, your enthusiasm, and your consistent support this year.  All of you helped in making this not only a successful year but also a fun year.  I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your children and working with them, and in the process I have had so many wonderful opportunities to get to know you~ the parents and community members as well.
 I hope you all enjoy a fun and safe summer filled with lots of laughter, good health, and new memories. We at Clough have truly lived our theme this year. “One Team, One Goal, No Limits”. Thank you for an incredible year and for entrusting your children with us.
Most Sincerely,
Janice Gallagher
