Dr. Marybeth Whitney-DeLaMar

I am very excited to begin serving the Franklin Elementary community as their Principal.  Franklin families reflect a diverse community who are passionate about education, value learning, and support the efforts of the Franklin Elementary teachers and staff…how fortunate we are!
 
I have always valued children and education.  During the past 34 years I have been advocating for the education of children, first as a teacher, and now as a principal. 
 
My husband Jeff and I have been married for 33 years and have been blessed with seven wonderful children.  Our family is rooted in the belief that differences make us stronger and love makes our lives richer. 
 
I enjoy spending time talking with parents and community members, so I invite you to reach out to me to hear about the incredible happenings at Franklin Elementary School.  Feel free to email me at mdelamar@d64.org.
