Peter joined Rocky Hill School earlier this month. Most recently the Director of Marketing & Communications at Save The Bay in Providence, he has two decades of nonprofit and government communication experience. He earned a Bachelor's degree in communications from Roger Williams University and an MPA from the University of Rhode Island. Peter has also become a Rocky Hill parent this year. His oldest son, Will, is entering fourth grade at RHS.
Angela James
Upper School Chemistry
As a graduate student, Angela realized that she wanted to teach chemistry. During the past school year, she taught undergraduate laboratories at the University of Rhode Island. She is looking forward to becoming a part of the Rocky Hill School community through teaching chemistry and working with the yearbook and student council.
Bill Langlois '73
Bus Driver
A former student of Rocky Hill, Bill returns to campus this year as bus driver. Formerly a driver for Ocean State Transit's East Greenwich school bus route, Bill is well-versed in connecting with the kids in our area. Bill is a retired law enforcement officer and served more than 20 years in the South Kingstown Police Department. He is also a former state chairman of School Bus Standards and Operations for the State of Rhode Island.
Caitlin MacDonald
Fifth Grade
Caity grew up in Narragansett and received her Bachelor's Degree from the University of Rhode Island. She then earned her Master's in Elementary Education at Boston University. She has spent the last two years teaching fourth grade in the Fall River Public School system and is excited to begin teaching fifth grade at Rocky Hill School.
Margo Ott, RN
School Nurse
Margo is a registered nurse with twenty years of clinical experience that involves acute care, administrative, and school nursing. Additional professional qualifications include a Bachelor of General Studies in Social and Health Services and a Certification in School Nurse Teaching from Roger Williams University. Margo's favorite role in nursing is adjusting her practice to compliment each family's health management style.
Jessica Russell
Upper School English
Jessica grew up on the Cape, where she fell in love with the ocean despite being raised on stories of fatal shipwrecks. She studied Comparative Literature at Smith College and, after a stint in Italy, earned her Master's in French Literature from NYU. After seven years teaching English and French, giving baking lessons to students, and enforcing bedtimes at a small co-ed boarding school in St. Louis, MO, Jessica is thrilled to return to New England and the coast.
If you happen to see any of our new staff and faculty around campus, say hi and introduce yourself!
