Craig Louzon

Serving 11 years on the Chariho School Committee, Craig has contributed to the positive direction Chariho has taken, exemplified by four Blue Ribbon Schools and Chariho becoming one of the top 10 school systems in the state. He attributes Chariho’s success to Barry Ricci’s “All the kids, all the time” philosophy. Craig believes Chariho should continue improving and striving for excellence. “Now is not the time to interrupt Chariho’s positive momentum in providing a sound education to Charlestown, Richmond, and Hopkinton’s children. The Chariho School Committee has historically provided the resources, guidance, and facilities necessary to educate our students and prepare them for their future.” With the growing mandates from the State and Federal government, Craig understands the role the School Committee plays in ensuring all students receive the education they deserve. He has empathy for the taxpayers, and knows how to balance the cost and needs of the students.
