LENOX — Superintendent Dr. William Collins has appointed Brooke Kamienski as the next Principal of Lenox Memorial Middle & High School (LMMHS), effective July 1, pending successful contract negotiations.
Kamienski will succeed Principal Dr. Jeremiah Ames, who was recently promoted to serve as the District’s Director of Finance and Operations on July 1.
Kamienski was selected following a comprehensive and competitive search process that included input from school and community stakeholders.
Kamienski brings more than 20 years of experience in K-12 education and a strong background in instructional leadership and school administration. She has served in a range of leadership roles, including assistant principal, interim assistant principal, dean of students, and department chair. Her work has focused on curriculum development, staff supervision and evaluation, student support systems, and building safe, inclusive school environments.
“Ms. Kamienski is a respected educator and leader who understands the Lenox school community and is deeply committed to student success,” said Dr. Collins. “Her experience, leadership skills, commitment to equity and focus on continuous improvement make her well-suited to guide Lenox Memorial Middle & High School forward.”
Kamienski is currently a science teacher and 10th Grade Team Leader at LMMHS, where she also serves on the Building Threat Assessment Team. She previously served as Interim Assistant Principal at LMMHS from July to September 2022, overseeing daily operations, coordinating emergency response planning, supporting professional development, and working closely with staff and families on student services, including 504 plans and Individualized Education Programs.
Earlier in her career, Kamienski served as Assistant Principal at Hoosac Valley Middle & High School in Cheshire and as Dean of Students at Egremont Elementary School in Pittsfield Public Schools.
“I am honored to step into this role and continue serving the Lenox community,” said Kamienski. “Lenox Memorial Middle & High School is a special place where I’ve spent much of my career, and I look forward to working with our students, staff and families to build on the strong foundation already in place.”
Her professional recognitions include being named a Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) 2027 Teacher of the Year nominee, receiving the Massachusetts Secretary of Environmental Affairs Award in Environmental Science in 2019, and being named a Berkshire Taconic Kapteyn Prize finalist in 2024.
Kamienski holds a Master of Education in Educational Administration from American International College and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. She is licensed as a K-12 Principal in Massachusetts.
“I want to thank Dr. Ames for his steady leadership and the impact he has had on Lenox Memorial Middle & High School,” said Dr. Collins. “As he transitions into his new role, I am confident that Ms. Kamienski will continue that momentum and guide the school into its next chapter.”
