STONE HILL'S TRICIA TOTOLO: Tricia Totolo received her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education from Rhode Island College in 1997 and also has a Master's Degree in Special Education. She had her first teaching job at Western Hills Middle School and Hugh B. Bain Middle School in Cranston before teaching for the next 14 years in Franklin, Massachusetts at Parmenter Elementary School. She finished off her time in Franklin as Head Teacher at Parmenter, a position similar to that of Assistant Principal. For the past four years she has been the principal of Clayville Elementary School in Scituate. "It's a smaller school than Stone Hill School by about 100 less students, with one of every grade," she said. Totolo's own son went through Stone Hill Elementary School and is a seventh-grader now. "This move is a nice one for me because it feels so comfortable. My son grew up here since preschool, so it's new, but it's comfortable," she said. "I have a relationship with a good part of the staff and to me it's very exciting to be part of the community that we've lived in and my son has grown up in, and to now be here in a different role." Tototlo is excited to work with the staff at Stone Hill and to continue to keep the school moving forward in the same positive direction it has been going in.
