McHale has a BA in sociology from University College Cork and a master of education from Harvard University, plus Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) diplomas at both the primary and elementary levels.

In addition to her role as an administrator and teacher at MSGH, McHale is also a former parent of a student as her daughter attended the school from pre-school through ninth grade.

“Mary’s deep knowledge and understanding of MSGH’s mission, operations, and culture will serve our community well,” said Board of Trustees Chair Ellen Brown. “Mary’s love and respect for the school and its role in helping children become caring and competent individuals is evident in all that she does and we are so fortunate to have her leading the school.”
