Newly appointed school committee member Chris DeMeo is the son of a career teacher and comes from a family of educators. For Chris, finding and doing what's most important is what life is all about. Not only is he an active parent to a Marlborough Public Schools student, but he also serves as a PTO member and is involved with Marlborough Youth Soccer.
Now, as he takes on this new role on the Marlborough School Committee, his focus will be on ensuring that every Marlborough kid and family is served and educated with enthusiasm, integrity and authenticity, and nothing less. Chris will serve until December 2027, the remainder of the unexpired term left by the untimely passing of Heidi Matthews.
We encourage Marlborough High School students to engage in learning beyond the classroom by joining at least one of over 30 inclusive and welcoming student-driven clubs.
