History of McCarthy School

Our school opened in 1952 as the Warren Oaks School, named after two neighboring streets. In 1969, the community renamed the building in honor of Miriam F. McCarthy, who served as its first principal from 1952 - 1969. Miss McCarthy dedicated herself to Framingham for 25 years. She was recognized for high ideals and standards, her moral value, her understanding of children and her efforts to bring and maintain a rigorous quality education for all children. Past principals of McCarthy School also include Edward F. Convery (1969-1990), J. Michael Dineen (1990-1997), Nanzetta Merriman (1997-2001) and Joan Vodoklys (2001-2010). Our current principal is Matthew Hanlon.
