Welcome to T.M. Peirce!

Dear Peirce Families,

I am honored to be the new principal of Thomas M. Peirce. It is a privilege to join a community committed to the growth, safety and success of every child. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this school is filled with bright scholars, dedicated educators and families that take pride in supporting learning.

My mission is simple:  ensure that every scholar feels loved, challenged and supported every single day. I believe in strong relationships, high expectations and open communication. Together we will continue building a school environment where scholars thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

I look forward to engaging with  you at arrival, dismissal or simply walking into the building. Your insight, partnership, and voice are invaluable, and I am excited to learn what makes this community special.

I am eager and extremely proud to serve as your principal.

With appreciation,

Garry Beverly M. Ed

Principal , Thomas M. Peirce School
