Huge Congratulations to Lisa LaPlante!
We are thrilled to announce that our very own Lisa LaPlante, M.Ed., Director of Student Services at U-32, has been named a Professional of the Year by the New England Association for College Admission Counseling (NEACAC)!
This prestigious honor is a testament to Lisa’s tireless advocacy for our students and her steady leadership within the counseling field. Whether she is navigating complex graduation pathways or supporting our staff, Lisa embodies the heart and soul of U-32.
A Career of Impact:
- 25+ Years as a dedicated school counselor and leader.

As Assistant Principal JB Hilferty noted, Lisa has worked incredibly hard and truly deserves this recognition. It is wonderful to see her regional peers acknowledge the same dedication we see every day. Lisa will be formally recognized at the NEACAC Annual Conference at Boston College on June 3rd.
Please join us in celebrating Lisa for this incredible milestone!

Our Community
Washington Central serves the five rural towns that surround Montpelier, Vermont’s state capital, with U-32 as our Middle School and High School. The towns – Berlin, Calais, East Montpelier, Middlesex and Worcester – are all classic, close-knit New England villages. The presence of state government, the home office of a national financial services company, a variety of post-secondary educational institutions, and a relatively well-educated population ensure that our students have many educational, social, and cultural opportunities.
