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

Welcome Back!




The excitement at Clough began with the arrival of the first yellow bus and continued until every child stepped off the bus smiling, ready to meet their new teacher and their classmates.  It is wonderful having the students and staff back. Our start of the year went extremely well.
Our Kindergarten Orientations and Pre-K Greet and Meet were held Wednesday, August 29th. Every child had an opportunity to meet their teacher and to become familiar with their classroom. The kindergarteners even got to ride on a bus with their parents. It was such a wonderful experience for them.
Special thanks to the PTO and all those who supported our Golf Classic Tournament last May. The funds from the golf event went to purchasing 7 LCD projectors, 2 Smart Boards and 2 IPADs. The teachers are eager to begin using them with their students. We greatly appreciate your support in assisting with our technology needs.  Open House for Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grade 1 & 2 students will be on September 18th and for grades 3 and 4 it will be held on September 19th.
We look forward to an exciting year working with our students, parents, and community members. We value and encourage parent and community volunteers. Working together as one team focusing on providing our students with the best education possible is what we strive for and with your help we will achieve this goal. “One, team, One Goal, No Limits”.
