Hebron Board of Selectmen welcomes new athletic director Michelle Landry

In the quiet yet bustling atmosphere of the Hebron Town Hall, the Board of Selectmen convened on July 10, 2025, to discuss a range of community matters that resonate deeply with local residents. Among the key topics was the ongoing progress of the school district's athletic facilities, particularly the replacement of the track, which is nearing completion. This development promises to enhance the physical education experience for students and athletes alike.

The meeting also marked a transition in leadership within the school’s athletic department. Dan Trudeau, the former athletic director, has taken a new position in Rocky Hill, paving the way for Michelle Landry, who previously served in the Easthampton Public School System, to step into the role. Landry officially began her tenure on July 1, and her arrival is anticipated to bring fresh perspectives to the athletic programs.

In addition to school updates, the Board addressed land acquisition discussions that had taken place in a prior meeting. Although one member was unable to attend, they reported that several parcels of land were under consideration, with some discussions moving into executive session. This indicates ongoing efforts to expand or enhance community resources, though specific details remain forthcoming.

Public comments during the meeting highlighted community engagement and appreciation. Resident Holly Havick expressed gratitude for the appointment of Dory Wolf, acknowledging her years of dedicated service to the town. Havick's remarks underscored the importance of continuity in local governance, especially as transitions occur within the Board.

Another resident shared their enthusiasm for the new pickleball courts, noting the vibrant activity they have sparked in the community. This sentiment reflects a growing interest in recreational facilities that cater to diverse interests, fostering a sense of community and well-being.

As the meeting concluded, the Board of Selectmen set the stage for future discussions, with plans to resume meetings in August, just in time for the upcoming school year. The blend of administrative updates, community feedback, and the promise of new leadership paints a picture of a town actively engaged in shaping its future, one meeting at a time.
