Former Manchester Principle and Prosecutor MaryEllen McGorry
According to Ted Gatsas, Manchester’s Mayor and chairman of the Board of School Committee, Manchester High School West Principal MaryEllen McGorry was suspended from her duties on Thursday September 27th. Before becoming the principle of the school that she graduated from in 1981, Ms. McGorry was a Hillsborough County prosecutor and graduate of the NH based Franklin Pierce Law Center. On August 13th she testified against Ademo Freeman who she accused of wiretapping when he treated their conversation as “on the record” and eventually broadcast it on YouTube for the sake of keeping the government transparent. He was found guilty and is serving three months in a Manchester jail with nine months of the State’s sentence against Ademo suspended.

Manchester High School West Principal MaryEllen McGorry was suspended from her duties last week, Mayor Ted Gatsas confirmed Saturday.
Gatsas, who also serves as chairman of the city Board of School Committee, said he did not know the circumstances of McGorry’s suspension, but said he believed it happened Thursday.
He referred further questions to Superintendent Thomas Brennan, who did not return phone calls seeking comment. McGorry also could not be reached for comment.
McGorry has been the school’s principal since 2008, having served as an assistant principal and interim principal.
Before becoming an educator, McGorry, who holds a law degree from the former Franklin Pierce Law Center, which is now the University of New Hampshire School of Law, spent a portion of her working career as a Hillsborough County prosecutor.
McGorry’s principal’s page is still up on the high school’s website, featuring her quote: “West High School is a great place to spend every day. It is a school filled with dedicated, talented and diverse students, faculty and staff.”
McGorry graduated from West High School in 1981, when she was named “Miss West.”
When she was appointed interim principal in 2007, about 100 faculty members at West High School signed a petition endorsing her being awarded the principal position permanently.
