Pearl River School District

Welcome to the Pearl River School District!

It is my continued honor to serve the students, staff, families and communities of the Pearl River School District as Superintendent of Schools since 2014. As we begin the 2025–26 school year, our five schools remain thriving centers of learning and growth, guided by our dedicated principals and staff, and supported by our K–12 students and their families.

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working alongside our Board of Education, administrators, teachers and staff to enhance the instructional programming and services we provide. Together, we remain committed to delivering a high-quality education that meets the evolving needs of our learners.

Creating and maintaining safe, welcoming and inclusive learning environments for all continues to be the District’s priority. Looking ahead to this academic year, the Pearl River School District is focused on expanding opportunities for advancement, personal growth and continued support of students’ social-emotional well being. Through collaboration and innovation, our dedicated team aims to ensure every student receives the very best educational experience.

Whether you are new to the District or returning, you will find that Pearl River is a community that values all students and provides them the knowledge and skills necessary for success in college, career and life-readiness. 

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students and school community - where “Every Child Can and Will Learn.”
