Hi! I'm Jonathan Aldrich. I have been the 8th grade history teacher, at the Clark, for four years. I grew up in Vermont, searching for cool things in the woods around my house. I am still searching for cool things in Vermont. That's why I live in Salem, MA. I have two dogs and a cat, my wife works at the other middle school (be careful who you share things with on google). My son thinks that we are toy buying machines, which we might have become. But most of all I am excited to get to know you as a person and as a learner

Mr. Bennington has been working at the Clark since 2005. He grew up around Boston and loves the opportunities working in Chelsea has given him. He doesn't believe in the idea of a favorite book because life is too short and complicated to have just one.

Hi! I'm Ms. Buruca, one of the 7th grade and 8th grade math teachers. I have worked at CAMS as an 8th grade math teacher for almost 6 years!

I love that I have the opportunity to come back to where I grew up and help the next generation of Chelsea students figure out their passions for the future. Can't wait to meet you all!
