There will be some new faces as the Londonderry schools open their doors Monday, and they won’t all be toting backpacks.

Suzie Swenson, Human Resources Director for the Londonderry School District, and Superintendent Nathan Greenberg have released the list of certified teachers who will join the Londonderry team this fall. It has been a busy summer, Swenson said, citing several retirements last spring that made it necessary to fill positions.
