Dear Greenburgh Academy Community,
As the new principal of this outstanding school, I am excited to introduce myself and extend a warm welcome to all of our families, students, and community members.
I am joining the GA team with 21 years of experience as an administrator at the high school, and district levels supporting a broad range of students across various academic environments including economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, gifted, neurodivergent, and English language learners. I have a passion for quality education and enjoy building relationships in the process. I am committed to ensuring that our school is a place where every student and staff member feels valued, respected, and supported. I believe that a strong and positive school community is essential to student success and I am dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence and inclusivity at Greenburgh Academy.
Our school has a wealth of resources and opportunities for our students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We have an experienced and dedicated staff that is committed to providing the best possible education for our students and ensuring opportunities are available. We are committed to providing a challenging and stimulating curriculum that will inspire a love of learning and a desire to succeed. In addition, we have worked to provide opportunities for students to explore their interests and talents. Our programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all students, regardless of their abilities.
I understand that the journey of education is a partnership between the school, families, and the community. Collectively, we will work together, to provide the best possible education for our students. We encourage and welcome parent and community involvement in our school and look forward to continuing to build strong relationships with our families and community.
I am excited to embark on this new journey together and am confident that with the support of our families, community, and dedicated staff, our students will achieve great things.
Thank you for your daily commitment to and willingness to support the students of Greenburgh Academy. I look forward to working with each of you to provide the best possible education for our students.
Sincerely,
Soraya Smith
