SOMERS
Forward in Excellence 

SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR 

The Somers CSD is nestled within a tight-knit, suburban community located in bucolic Westchester County 45 miles from New York City. It showcases strong generational ties, a warm and supportive environment, and fosters vibrant collaboration and engagement between the school district and the community. The two district campuses, encompassing a high school, a middle school, an intermediate school and an elementary school, are the hub of activity in the town of Somers. The 2,600 students benefit from a collective commitment to enhancing the educational experience for all, while inspiring a passion for lifelong learning. It matters deeply to Somers that all children feel they belong in their schools, and the district is committed to the development of the whole child.

The Board of Education is seeking a thoughtful, visionary leader motivated to be an integral member of the district to build upon the district’s accomplishments to take it to its next level of excellence.
