Hilary Langille has worked as a paralegal at a large law firm in Boston, and as a billing receptionist at a church, but when a job opened up in the central office for Westford she took that.

After working for 2 years under a grant, the grant ended, and with that ended her job. After losing her job she immediately got a job at the Westford Regency in the sales office billing for the social and business events.

While working there, she saw that the job for administrative assistant at WA had opened up and she immediately applied.

“My heart was with the schools,” Langille said.

Hilary Langille is the new administrative assistant at Westford Academy.

Langille grew up outside of New York city and has lived in Westford for 20 years. She says where she grew up is similar to here but it was a bit less country.

“Things here are a little less fast paced. It’s nice,” says Langille.

As an administrative assistant she greets people, answers questions and helps parents and students. She also works exclusively for Principal Jim Antonelli. She says she is really excited to be helping with graduation and is excited to see the class graduate.

Langille has two children, an 18 year old daughter who went through Westford Academy and is now a freshman in college and a 16 year old son who is a junior currently at WA. Knowing the school from being a parent of a graduate and current student has helped her adapt to her new job.

Langille says even if she could have any other job she wouldn’t make the change.

“Honestly this is what I want to do right here,” she says.
