I have been grateful for the leadership, kindness, and integrity Chris Mahoney has shown in his time as our principal. After the very difficult years the Thoreau community went through, it has desperately needed a leader with those characteristics. Principal Mahoney has been helping the Thoreau community feel happy and hopeful about the direction in which we are moving. Please allow this to continue..

As a former Thoreau, Sanborn and Peabody parent, and a current Willard and CCHS parent, we have witnessed the struggles felt by the Thoreau (and greater Concord) communities. In my role at The Concord Recreation Ski Program, I have personally had the opportunity and pleasure to meet and interact with Principal Mahoney and was impressed with his responsiveness, professionalism, and care and attention to the students' needs. I encourage fellow Concord Citizens to support the Thoreau parents around their desire to retain Chris Mahoney as Principal of Thoreau School.

I believe Chris has done a great job this year as temporary Principal at Thoreau School. I grew up with Chris here in Concord and can attest to his strong character. Also, as a Thoreau alumnus, he is a perfect choice to be the next permanent principal of Thoreau.

Chris comes across as both a wonderful educator and administrator. It is terrific to have such open communication and our school could benefit from his enthusiasm and leadership. We live on his old street in Concord; the neighbors remember him warmly, recalling him leading neighborhood children through musicals and plays when younger, and are utterly unsurprised that he is not only an educator but both committed and highly regarded.

My son keeps telling me that Chris Mahoney is the best principal they ever had. He says, that he is more fun and that he understands them better. Also that he comes to see them more often in the classroom.

He knows his staff, the students, and our community. Why would we look any further for a permanent principle?

Chris Mahoney is the most amazing principal ever! He is so enthusiastic, dedicated, caring, and proactive about creating an environment of excellence and inspiring others to bring their creative energies to the table. Chris believes in supporting and trusting teachers and parents, he welcomes all viewpoints and ideas to the table, and he is a ceaseless innovator. I feel like we've died and gone to heaven here at Thoreau!

Fully support Chris for permanent principal of Thoreau. He has been excellent in terms of communication and brings a vision to Thoreau. While he has many fresh ideas, he takes pride in Thoreau's traditions, and is deeply rooted in our community.

Chris is very approachable and brings knowledge and experience to his role. He is sensitive and supportive with students' specific needs, and is extremely responsive. Chris has already made a difference to the Thoreau community.

Although our son Fox is a kindergartner and this is a first year at Thoreau, we feel that Chris has done an exceptional job of brining unity to a school that has not felt unity in a number of years. As graduates of Concord public schools, my wife and I fully support Chris as our full time principal.
