Did you know "Huzzah!" was the battle cry of Revolutionary War soldiers — used by both American and British troops? It slowly evolved into "Hurrah," then "Hooray," the celebration word we use today.

UPDATED at 12 PM: Phone service has been restored - we appreciate your patience!

AM Post:
As of Tuesday morning, we continue to experience issues with our primary phone system, particularly affecting inbound calls. Families may encounter busy signals or difficulty reaching school offices. Verizon has a repair crew on-site today working to address the issue and restore normal phone operations.

In the meantime, if you need to contact your child’s school, please email the school principal or front office staff. They are aware of the situation and prepared to respond promptly. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update as soon as normal service is restored.

The Andover School Committee is pleased to announce the finalists for the APS Superintendent Search. Following months of community outreach through focus groups, informal forums and surveys, and a competitive process that drew 36 applications, the Screening Committee has identified and interviewed a strong slate of candidates who reflect the priorities and values shared by our community.

We are grateful to the APS community and the screening committee members who participated in this process. Your input helped shape the candidate profile and guided the search effort to ensure the screening committee identified candidates best suited to lead Andover Public Schools into the future.
