PRINCIPAL/ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL

I am proud to serve as the assistant principal of John Trumbull Primary School. My background in education includes supporting teachers, developing engaging learning experiences, and collaborating with colleagues to strengthen teaching and learning. My work in the district over the last 10 year has deepened my commitment to building strong partnerships with students, staff, and families. I believe all students bring unique strengths to our school community and deserve to feel safe, valued, and challenged. My goal is to ensure a nurturing, inclusive learning environment where every child develops confidence, discovers their potential, and builds a lifelong love of learning

Hi JTPS Family!

My name is Cecily Edwards and I am John Trumbull’s new Special Education Assistant Principal! I have worked in district and within JTPS since 2021 and now have the privilege of being at JTPS full time. I am excited to be able to fully become a part of the JTPS family!! 

I have been in administration since 2018 and have worked in multiple schools across the state supporting special education students. Prior to my career in administration, I was a school social working providing mental health and crisis intervention services.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and spending time outside. I live on the shoreline with my two dogs, Ralphie and Sneaky, who love snacks and couch naps.
