NORTHFIELD, MA — Pioneer Valley Regional School’s new principal, Jean Bacon, says that she wants Pioneer to support all learning styles, including students who need more support or students who need more challenge than the curriculum provides.

Bacon, 54, of North Bennington, Vt., was named Pioneer’s next principal in late March following the resignation of William Wehrli. She said she was attracted to Pioneer because of its moderate size of 450 students and because it teaches both middle and high school students.

“I was really looking at this point in my career to find a middle or high school principalship,” she said.
