I am honored to be joining the Millbury Street School community as principal beginning in the 2025–2026 school year. With over 20 years of experience in education, my journey began as a fifth-grade teacher, where I discovered my passion for supporting student growth and building strong learning communities. Since 2014, I have had the privilege of serving as principal of North Street Elementary School here in Grafton.
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to fostering an environment where students are inspired to learn and educators are empowered to thrive. Being named the 2020 Massachusetts Elementary Principal of the Year was a humbling recognition of the incredible work our teams across Grafton have done in pursuit of excellence.
I look forward to bringing that same energy and collaborative spirit to Millbury Street School—working alongside students, staff, and families to ensure that every child feels seen, supported, and challenged. Together, we will continue to create a school community rooted in care, curiosity, and high expectations.
Paul Schwab, Assistant Principal
As the Assistant Principal of Millbury Street Elementary School since 2020, I have strived to foster academic excellence and create a nurturing environment for our students. It's important to me that every student feels valued and supported within our school community, and I work tirelessly to ensure that they receive a well-rounded education.
Residing in Shrewsbury with my family, I graduated from Curry College with a BA in Political Science and History, and later earned my Masters in Educational Administration from American International College. Throughout my career, I've taught Social Studies and Technology in grades 5-8, allowing me to connect with students on various levels.
Outside of work, I love traveling with my family to Cape Cod and occasionally someplace warm in the winter. Music is a huge passion of mine and you will often find me heading out to a concert whenever possible. Like most New Englanders I take pride in being a Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins fan as well.
I am very grateful to be a part of the community that is Millbury Street School and appreciate the opportunity to work with such amazing staff, students and families every day.
