FREEDOM — It may be the middle of summer, but school has already begun for Freedom Elementary’s new principal, Elise Guerriero, who was hired last week to lead the K-6 school.
Guerriero takes over the helm from Elaine Sherry, who served as principal from November 2021 through June 30, and has retired.
