Each fall, the Amherst-Pelham regional and elementary schools welcome a host of new teachers and paraprofessionals into its educational tent.

These shapers of our next generation will lead classrooms from the very youngest students to high school seniors. Pictured on this page are more than 30 of these new staff members.
