Interim Principal Takes Charge at Lawrence School
Mary Gans is the interim principal at Lawrence School in Falmouth, where she was assistant principal in 2012-2013 and a guidance counselor in 2011-2012.
Students returning to Lawrence School next week will see a familiar face in a new office: Mary Gans, who was the middle school's assistant principal last year, has been named interim principal by Falmouth Public Schools' superintendent Bonny Gifford.
Gans was appointed after Lawrence School principal Nancy Taylor was named director of pupil personnel services for the school district.
According to an announcement on the school district website, Gans came to the district in September 2011 as a guidance counselor for Lawrence School and became assistant principal there in 2012.
