Update from the Croton-Harmon Superintendent of Schools

Dear Croton-Harmon Community,

Every one of us has been to school. We have the shared experience of having been to Kindergarten, to Third Grade, and to high school. And for all of us, memories of time spent in school have helped to shape who we are as people, how we see ourselves, and how we engage with the world. Yet I believe that, even for those among us who loved school, we also all share a common understanding - that school, regardless of our alma mater, can be better. School can be a place where people come together to glimpse their future; where all learners, both students and adults, feel inspired; and where igniting curiosity about the world is the greatest gift that we can share with our community’s young people. School can be a place where children see themselves represented in what they explore - their interests, their backgrounds, and their passions. School can be a place of potential.

 

With that aspiration in mind, I invite you to take a few minutes to watch our newest Superintendent Video Update, during which I share specific examples of how our Vision Map is coming to life in our classrooms. And as we explore the Vision Map together, I ask you to look at what that document represents, and think about the journey of “making school better.” I truly believe that this is our opportunity to work together to create the kind of schools that we all wanted to experience, but didn’t know were possible.

With Tiger Pride,

Steve
