WEYMOUTH — Superintendent Jennifer Curtis-Whipple is pleased to announce that Jennifer Mendicino has been hired as the district’s new Dean of Students, and Robert O’Leary has been hired as the new Director of Physical Education and Athletics.

“We are pleased to have two new additions joining the high school’s administrative team for the 2020-21 academic year,” Superintendent Curtis-Whipple said. “We’re excited to have both of them join our team, and for this new chapter at Weymouth High School.”

Mendicino and O’Leary were introduced at the School Committee Meeting on Thursday, July 23 and will begin their new roles Tuesday, Sept. 1.
