Maria D. Reidy is in her 3rd year as principal of Sgt. William H. Carney Academy Elementary School. I wanted to be a teacher since I was in the second grade. I loved playing school with my siblings and I remember begging my parents for a chalk board. I attended Phillips Avenue School in New Bedford and had an amazing second grade teacher, Mrs. Gifford. She made me feel as if I could do anything and that year I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up -- A teacher! I attended Normandin Middle School and then off to New Bedford High School. I continued my education by attending Bristol Community College, Bridgewater State College, and Cambridge College to be an educator.

Being a principal is a challenge at times, but I can’t imagine doing it anywhere else. My Carney Families mean the world to me. My favorite part of my day is seeing my students learn in their classrooms. They bring such joy to my life and make me remember why I went into this profession. I am who I am because of them. To all my former students, thank you for being part of who I am today. You taught me many lessons throughout my years as a teacher in New Bedford. Our goal at Carney Academy is to create that connection I had with Mrs. Gifford here with our students.
