Walnut Ridge Primary School will welcome new principal

VERNON-Next autumn, the students of Walnut Ridge Primary School will be learning more than just the fundamentals of reading, writing, and math: they'll be learning the name of a brand new principal. Pauline F. Anderson was approved as the new principal of the school. She comes to Vernon from the Frank J. Smith Elementary School in East Hanover, where she served as principal for the past two years. Previously, she had been the principal of Our Lady Queen of Peace School in Hewitt. "I look forward to a developing a working relationship with the faculty and creating a love of learning in the primary grades," she said. Anderson holds a bachelor's degree from the College of Mt. Saint Vincent in New York as well as two masters degrees, one from St. John's University and the other from Caldwell College. She will replace Arnold Aromando in her new position, and will begin her new role on July 1.
