Shannon McCarthy announces candidacy for School Committee

My name is Shannon McCarthy and I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Saugus School Committee. For the past ten years, I have proudly called Saugus home, raising my two young children, ages 5 and 3, alongside my husband, who has dedicated over 15 years to public education.

Over the last three years, through the strong community connections I’ve built at the entry point to Saugus Public Schools, I’ve seen firsthand the need for greater focus, transparency, and connectivity to address the challenges Saugus parents face every day.

Professionally, I bring over 15 years of experience in working with diverse teams, with the last eight spent at L’Oréal USA, where I’ve led corporate teams across multiple functions. My work has centered on driving results, breaking down silos, and building growth and success through collaboration.

My desire to run is simple: I am raising children in this community, and I care deeply about the needs of the families who live here — past, present, and future. I believe we already have the tools needed to make Saugus the best place to live and raise a family; we just need to use them in the right way.

As Saugus continues to grow and face complex challenges, we need all hands on deck to understand and address both the immediate and long-term needs of our schools and our town. I am eager to listen, learn and work with our community to ensure a bright future for every Saugus student.

With humility and gratitude, I respectfully ask for your support and your vote this November as we work together to build the very best future for Saugus.

Thank you

Shannon McCarthy for Saugus School Committee
