Vice President
Liz Potucek
My name is Liz Potucek, I have lived in Clifton since 2010, and I am an 8th grade ELA & Social Studies in a nearby school district. I joined HASA so that I could help plan and be part of all of the exciting school events at School 5. My oldest son Sean is in 5th grade, and my younger son Brian is in 1st grade. I am looking forward to all of the amazing events this school year!
Treasurer
Christine Colligan
My name is Christine Colligan and I am a life long resident of Clifton. I have two sons who attend Clifton schools, William (12) (WWMS) and Brayden (9) (School 5). School 5 holds a special place in my heart because it’s not only the school my sons attend(ed) but the school that I and many of my family members attended including my father. Being involved with the Home and School Association is important to me because it is not only fun that I get to spend time with my own children but it benefits every child in the school community.
