For Suffield Teacher of the Year, Heather Goldstein, it was a combination of job devotion, perseverance and the enduring influence of a former awardee that helped make her achievement possible. “I love, absolutely love working here in Suffield. It’s like my second home,” she said.

As we step into the 2025–2026 school year, my second as your superintendent, I am both proud of the progress we’ve made together and excited for the road ahead. Building upon our strong foundation of academic excellence, student well-being, and innovative teaching and learning will remain our focus. My commitment remains simple but unwavering: to ensure that every student in our care thrives.Kindness MattersEvery student and staff member deserves to learn and work in a safe and supportive environment. This priority is shared by our Board of Education and is my most important charge as superintendent. This year, we are taking an intentional step forward by introducing a “Kindness Statement” into every school handbook.
