Mrs. Kelli Colarusso
Welcome to Washington Elementary School! I am very excited about being the Teaching Principal for WES this year. I have worked in the classroom at WES for 9 years and started my leadership role last year as the Teaching Associate Principal. I am excited to continue leading WES and working with the families and community in Washington. In addition to being the Principal, I will be teaching math and science to our upper grades. Teaching has been my passion since fourth grade, so continuing to teach and lead is the best of both worlds!
I am a proud alumnus of Keene State College, and I have worked at WES since 2011. I grew up in New Hampshire and love everything it has to offer. Having grown up in the Lakes Region, I love spending time on and in the water! I also enjoy hiking, and I hope to check off many of the 4,000 footers in NH. Teaching students about our beautiful state is something I'm extremely passionate about. I love making learning a hands-on experience, and I try to provide choice in many of the projects we do in our school. It's also important to learn from the surrounding experts, and I love collaborating with our small community.
