Meg McCarty (mtmccarty@methuen.k12.ma.us) grew up in Suffield, Connecticut, as the youngest of four children. She attended Boston University where she earned a B.A. in English. She later earned her Master of Education degree from Harvard University and currently holds Massachusetts certification in both English and the Humanities for grades five through eight. This is the eighteenth year Ms. McCarty has been teaching at the C.G.S. Additionally, Ms. McCarty and her husband, Mark, are both active in local community theater groups and they hope that their two children, Zachariah and Alexandra, will follow in their footsteps.
