CUMBERLAND – Cumberland High School Principal Adolfo Costa is one of three finalists in the search to replace Blackstone-Millville Regional High School Principal Michael Dudek.
Gina Flanagan, a former principal at two Massachusetts high schools, and Donna Zannelli, an associate principal at Southbridge High School and former assistant principal at Cumberland High, are the other two candidates.
A departure by Costa would leave Cumberland looking to find both a new superintendent and new high school principal in 2021.

School Committee hears reasoning for COVID-19 closures
CUMBERLAND – Bob Mitchell, the town’s superintendent of schools since 2015 and before that the assistant superintendent who arrived in the district in 2012, will retire effective June 30, 2021.
School Committee members and others last week commended Mitchell for his good work in Cumberland, saying he’ll be missed. They also hinted at the stress involved with the job, particularly during the pandemic.
Mitchell said there’s still plenty of work to be done, giving the school board his word that he’ll continue doing the job at 100 percent to the end. He said he’s been honored to do the work, later telling The Breeze that he’s “just tired” and it’s time.
