Administration

Hello, my name is Pierre Laflamme and I am the Middle School Principal at Barre City Elementary and Middle School. This is my sixth year in the district and my first in this new role. I attended UVM and Johnson State College for my undergraduate degree, earned a Master's degree in Education from Johnson State, and have continued my education since at Lyndon State College and the University of Colorado (Pueblo). My friends jokingly have called me the "professional student." Over more than two decades in education, I have taught across all grades and through many disciplines.

When not working in this community I enjoy being active outdoors with my family. Hiking is a particular passion of mine and I love exploring the trails, hills, and mountains near my home in Barre City.

I am Kristin Morrison, this is my tenth year here at BCEMS. This year I have had the great honor to service this community as Assistant Principal. The past nine years I have been working with the middle school team as a Behavior Specialist.

I grew up in Central Vermont attending Barre Town School until 4th grade when my family moved to Orange. I am a graduate of Williamstown High School. I attended undergraduate college at Castleton State University earning a Bachelors in Social Work and Sociology. I earned my Masters of Social Work from University of Albany. I have been working in Education since 2005.

When I am not in school I enjoy sharing life with my husband and children. We love to play, spend time outside, travel, and cook. We share our home with our 2 dogs and cat.

I have worked at BCEMS since 2009. I joined the staff as a special educator, and recently moved to the position of Assistant Director of Special Services. My practice is whole-child centered, recognizing that social/emotional learning is as important as academics.

I grew up in Chittenden County, but moved to Central Vermont to begin my career and raise a family. Prior to beginning my career in education, I worked in the legal field as a records manager and paralegal. I returned to school and received my Masters of Education in 2009 and my National Board Certification in 2018.

Outside of school, I enjoy knitting, playing board games with my sons, exploring new swimming holes and nature trails, watching The Great British Baking Show, and learning something new every day.
