Fairfield Schools Welcome Two New Principals

The Fairfield school district welcomed two new principals earlier this month.

Megan Tiley will take the helm at Roger Ludlowe Middle School, succeeding Glenn Mackno, who is retiring. Down the road at Tomlinson Middle School, Sally Bonina will replace the retiring Connee Dawson.

Tiley, a former health and physical education in teacher in Rye, N.Y. and Westport, served as the athletic director at Fairfield Warde High School until 2006. She returned to Westport to work as vice principal at Bedford Middle School until 2012. She returned to Fairfield for the current school year to serve as housemaster of Webster House at Fairfield Ludlowe High School.

"Ms. Tiley brings to her new position a wealth of accomplishments and knowledge of the district, students, staff and programs," Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Title said.

"She is a confident and capable administrator who will be a strong leader for the Roger Ludlowe Middle School team."

Bonina comes to Tomlinson after seven years as principal of Derby Middle School. She previously taught Spanish in the Stamford and Shelton school systems for 15 years.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from the College of New Rochelle and a Masters degree in reading consulting. Bonina earned her sixth year certificate at Southern Connecticut State University.

"Her vision, energy, experience and leadership qualities will be a tremendous asset to the students, parents, staff and programs at Tomlinson Middle School," Title said of Bonina.
