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

READ! READ! READ!



With the summer here and children not in school, many parents have asked me what is the one thing they can do to help their children retain all that hard work and progress they achieved this past school year.  My response is, read, read, and read some more. Get as many books as you can into the hands of your children and let them read this summer. Summer reading is all about reading for fun. Letting your children choose what they want to read not only builds good readers but life-long readers, too.  So, grab a good book, relax and read with your child. Enjoy!
