Maureen Ciccone

35 plus years (as cited by the superintendent) "a child prodigy" says the superintendent
started as an English teacher, became principal of South High, spent the past two years as Manager of Staff and Curriculm Development
(and she gets a WPS chair; her two enthusiastic staffers are up in the balcony, whistling and clapping madly)
She goes for the quick hug and handshake but is quickly shooed back to the chair for tributes from the School Committee.

I should also point out that the audience is full of principals, in tribute to her work as principal of South High.
Both Foley and O'Connell note the long list of leaders of various kinds that have come out of South (many now in central admin).
