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

Giving Thanks


It really is wonderful to work in a school such as the H.P. Clough Elementary.  The size of the school, the dedication and professionalism of staff, along with the involvement and support of parents and community members are significant factors which contribute toward providing a quality educational experience for the students at Clough.
We are grateful for the collaboration of ideas, time, energy, and resources our school receives.  Without everyone working together, we certainly could not do what we do. A special thank you to every single person connected to our school. 
On behalf of my staff and students I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
