PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Miss Hall's School announced that Lisa Lewis of Pittsfield has joined the school as its new marketing director.

A seasoned nonprofit marketing and communications executive, Lewis comes to MHS from the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge where she was the communications director since January 2005. Prior to joining the Center, Lewis was the marketing director at the Berkshire Museum. She has also previously held marketing and public relations positions with the San Francisco Health Plan and the California College of Podiatric Medicine, both in San Francisco, and Faulkner Hospital in Jamaica Plain, Mass.

At Miss Hall's School, Lewis will oversee the development, implementation and monitoring of a comprehensive marketing communications program that includes new media strategies, public relations and advertising. This effort will allow for greater collaboration among the school's admission, development and publications offices to market the school's position as a nationally recognized, boarding and day secondary school with programs that include Horizons and the Girls' Leadership Project.

"We are very pleased to have Lisa join MHS," Chief Advancement Officer Janis Martinson said. "All of us at the school know that preparing girls for college and lives of great purpose beyond college is important and meaningful work and adding Lisa to our award-winning communications team will move us that much further as we continue informing the broader community about the Miss Hall mission."

Possible Measles Exposure at Boston, Logan

12:05PM / Wednesday, December 24, 2025

BOSTON — The Massachusetts Department of Public Health confirmed Wednesday that an out-of-state adult visitor who spent time in Boston and Westborough earlier this month was diagnosed with measles and was present in a number of locations.

This could have resulted in other people being exposed to measles virus.

The visitor arrived at Logan International Airport on American Airlines flight 2384 from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, on Dec. 11 at 2:39 p.m. They stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston-Westborough in Westborough and departed the state on Dec. 12 via Logan at 9:19 p.m. on JetBlue flight 117 to Las Vegas.

DPH is working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local partners to identify and notify those who may have been exposed to measles from this individual.

"Measles is a highly contagious, airborne disease, which has increased significantly in the United States because of the unfortunate decrease in vaccination rates. It is also a preventable disease," said Public Health Commissioner Dr. Robbie Goldstein. "This current situation serves as an important reminder of the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our communities. While Massachusetts has not had a measles case this year, 2025 saw the highest number of nationwide cases in more than a decade — nearly 2,000 in 44 jurisdictions, and sadly, three deaths.

"Fifteen years ago, measles had been considered eliminated in the United States, but that tremendous progress is at risk. Vaccines are one of the most important public health interventions ever — they are safe, effective, and lifesaving."

Measles is very contagious. However, the risk to most people in Massachusetts is low because the vaccination rate in the state is high. People who are not immune and visited any of the locations on the following dates and times may be at risk for developing measles.
