The auditorium at the new Saugus Middle-High School will be named in honor of two beloved fine arts teachers in the Saugus Public Schools, Nancy Lemoine and Jerome Mitchell.
The School Committee voted 3-1 to call the auditorium the Lemoine-Mitchell Performing Arts Center.
“Congratulations, this is well deserved,” School Committee Chairman Tom Whittredge said.
Over the last two years, the Lemoine/Mitchell Performing Arts Committee has been trying to transfer the name of the performing arts center that was dedicated in memory of Lemoine and Mitchell at the former Saugus High School to the Middle-High School auditorium.
Lemoine, the beloved Saugus High School drama teacher/stage director, and Mitchell, the longtime director of music education and Saugus High School band director, both passed away in 2013.
The parents of a student in the Marion Intermediate School have filed a personal injury claim against the Marion School District related to an altercation with another student that took place in March, 2018.
