A Message from Dr. Elias, Interim Acting Principal

Dear Stern MASS Families,

I am humbled to serve as Interim Acting Principal of Stern MASS. I would like to take this moment to share my reflections and gratitude. 

I first came to the Stern MASS campus in the summer of 2016 when I was invited for the first round of AP interviews. Round two of the interview consisted of having a conversation about how to support teacher practice. When the interview was over, Ms. Woo walked me to my car, offered me the position, and hugged me. Stern MASS has been my home ever since. 

Over the past seven years, I have witnessed how Stern MASS is deeply committed to our scholars by ensuring that we have a rigorous instructional program rooted in strong instructional practices and extracurricular activities and experiences that provide a comprehensive school experience in a small community setting. 

As I step into this new role, I look forward to the opportunities it will bring for me to collaborate with the parents and families at Stern MASS. Thank you for your ongoing feedback and continuous support in making our school the best place for our community. It means so much that you continue to choose Stern MASS and trust us in educating your students. 

I am honored to be Stern MASS’s Interim Acting Principal. I look forward to working alongside each of you, continuing to build on the strong foundation that Stern MASS already has, and finding new ways that I can grow as a school leader to serve our students and community better.

With deep gratitude, 

Veronica Elias, Ed.D.

Interim Acting Principal
