It is a bit of a homecoming for me being a graduate of New Fairfield High School and now having the opportunity to return as an Assistant Principal.  I have very fond memories of my time at New Fairfield, remembering my participation on both athletic teams and participating in many other great extra curricular activities.   I am looking forward to sharing many of these experiences again with you as one of your Assistant Principals. 

To tell you a little about myself, I graduated from Springfield College in Massachusetts with an M.S. in Psychology and an M.Ed in Counseling.  After working in the business world for a number of years, I returned to Western Connecticut State University to receive my teaching certification, and practiced as a school counselor at both Greenwich and Wilton High Schools.  During this time I also continued with my education, pursuing my administrative degree in Educational Leadership at Sacred Heart University.  I also enjoyed working as the Varsity Coach for both the Cross Country and Track teams during this time as well as being both a class and club advisor. 

My career in education has been a passion and the realization of a dream come true for me, and I am looking forward to sharing these experiences with the students and community here at New Fairfield High School.  If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by phone at 312-5806 or e-mail at mchapleau@new-fairfield.k12.ct.us
