WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The board of trustees of Pine Cobble School has appointed Susannah Wells as head of school.
The unanimous decision was the product of a thorough search that considered many excellent candidates, according to trustees Chairman Joseph Finnegan.
"Sue, who has served for the past year and a half as interim head of school, rose to the top of the field through her effective management of the school's daily operations, her astute leadership in articulating a new strategic vision, her extremely successful development efforts, and her energetic dedication to all facets of the school community," he wrote in an email.
The board looks forward to working with Wells to build upon the outstanding work she has already accomplished and move the school toward even greater achievements.

Companion Corner: Lucy at Second Chance Animal Shelter
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
ARLINGTON, Vt. — There is an excited and energetic pup looking for her new family.
iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.
Lucy is an 18-month-old heeler/terrier mix with energy to spare. She has been at the Second Chance Animal Shelter for about a month.
Lead canine care technician Alaura Lasher introduced us to her.
"She is a very energetic girl. She loves to play, and as you can see, she came to us from animal control," she said.
Lucy was not in a great situation before coming to the shelter and they are still trying to learn more about her.
"They had seized her from a pretty neglectful situation. She was actually technically abandoned. She just came to us this last month, so she's still showing us all of her energy she has," Lasher said.
Lucy is able to go home with a dog-savvy cat and older children as she can be a bit jumpy with her bounds of energy.
"The perfect home for her is one that is able to give her a ton of attention and a ton of time playing, she loves her time outside," said Lasher. "She can run forever and not get tired. She can possibly live with another dog who is used to more of a pushy play style. She can be a little pushy when she plays, just because she's so hyper."
Since she is young, she is still learning and training with the staff and might need more with someone who takes her home.
"To the best of our knowledge, she's just a healthy young girl, because she's only a year and a half old, she still got a little bit of learning and training that she could use."
But Lucy is always happy to see anyone and immediately wants to play and say hi. Her endless energy makes her a great companion to play outside with and then hang out after a long day of fun.
"She's just a super sweet girl again. She'll need some help with the training, but as long as you've got time to burn out her energy, she'll make a great family dog," she said.
If you think Lucy might be the girl for you, reach out to Second Chance Animal Shelter and learn more about her on their website.
