October is National Principals Month! This month, we’re celebrating our dedicated Ellenville principals, who lead with heart, inspire our school communities, and work tirelessly to help every student and staff member thrive.
Our principals do so much more than lead the school day—they build relationships, champion our students, support our staff, solve problems, celebrate successes, and help make our schools places where everyone can grow and belong.
Thank you to Ellenville Elementary School Principal Nicole Ey and Ellenville Junior/Senior High School Principals Kerri Galloway and Carl Pabón for your leadership, dedication, and commitment to our students and community.
We appreciate all you do—this month and every month!
