LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Martin J. McEvoy Jr. has been named principal of Lanesborough Elementary School effective July 1, 2015.
Gordon L. Noseworthy, interim superintendent of schools for the Mount Greylock Regional School District and Union 71 Superintendency Union announced the appointment on Thursday.
McEvoy is currently vice principal for curriculum and instruction at Hoosac Valley Middle and High School.
