Dr. Diana Guzzi, principal at the Bowen Elementary School in Newton for the past 17 years, has been appointed as the next principal of Wellesley’s Schofield Elementary School (27 Cedar St). Guzzi, who starts July 1, had previously been a kindergarten and first grade teacher in Newton.

She’d also recently been a candidate for a principal’s position at a Westwood elementary school, but withdrew from that process in March.

Dr. Guzzi earned a Bachelor’s Degree in early childhood education from Boston College, a Master’s Degree in education with a specialization in literacy from Lesley University, and a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Boston College.

Wellesley Public Schools posted the Schofield principal job opening earlier this year, as Dr. Stephen Goodwin was hired last year as principal on an interim basis.

According to state data, Schofield has enrollment of 274 students for 2025-2026.
