Fellow Comets,

Thank you for visiting the Principal's Corner to learn a little bit more about me.  I'm currently beginning my first year as Principal of Walter G. Nord School, proudly serving my home community and contributing to the development of our eager youth.  

Our staff looks forward to sharing all of the exciting things happening here at Nord throughout the year and will utilize a variety of tools to communicate with you.  Along with the Nord website and calendar, we will deliver monthly newsletters to your email and schedule automated phone calls with important information. See you in August!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ashley Harigan

 

It is my privilege to serve as the Principal of Walter G. Nord School. I grew up in the Black River Schools and attended Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio where I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Middle Childhood Education. I earned a Masters of Education degree in Educational Leadership from Regent University in Virginia and I hold administrative licenses for an Elementary Principal, Middle School Principal, and High School Principal.  

I look forward to working with all stakeholders as our students prepare for success beyond Nord.  My expectation is that every student feels valued and takes pride in their contribution and accomplishments to our community. I truly feel honored to work alongside outstanding educators who are here for every student, every day.  

My husband, Brad, and our children, Jase and Alyssa live in Amherst and enjoy being a part of the Amherst community.  Go Comets!
