A Message from the Principal:
Dear Islip High School Families,
It is my sincere hope
that you receive this letter in the midst of an enjoyable and relaxing
summer vacation. For me, this letter is both exciting and yet very
humbling, as it is my first opportunity as the new Principal of Islip
High School to officially "Welcome You Back" for the start of the
2019-2020 school year.
Since I was hired, my time in
Islip has been nothing short of remarkable. Every student, parent,
teacher and staff member that I have encountered has been kind and
helpful. Learning about the wonderful programs and the opportunities
that have been created for our students has not only inspired me, but
also confirmed all of the fantastic things I have heard about Islip High
School, its outstanding students and staff and the "Pride" that the
community has for the total school program.
I have
learned that Islip is built upon rich traditions of excellence, the
truest form of community pride. At its core is a school system whose
commitment to the growth, enrichment, and success of all of its students
is second to none. I am truly honored to have been selected by Central
Administration and the Board of Education to join the Islip School
District, with its exceptional students, faculty, staff and
administrative team.
For more than twenty years, I have
been fortunate to have had many valuable and unique opportunities within
both the educational and professional arenas. These experiences have
paved the way for me to become the administrator and educational leader
that I am today. I began my career in the Bethpage School District where
I was a secondary social studies teacher for fourteen years. For the
past six years, I was an assistant principal at Kennedy High School in
the Bellmore-Merrick School District. This time has provided me with a
deep insight as to the true value and significance that a tradition of
excellence, whole life learning and a "student first" focus has upon a
district and its community as a whole. It allowed me to play an active
role in the creation of instructional, curricular, technological and
athletic programs, as well as operational ventures aimed at student
growth, achievement, and real-world experiences. I look forward to
bringing a commitment to excellence, a creative and innovative vision,
and a positive attitude to the current and future students of Islip High
School.
Once again, I am so thankful for the opportunity
to become a part of the Islip High School community! I look forward to
getting to know and work with each one of your children as we continue
to strive to move Islip High School amongst the educational leaders in
New York State.
Best regards,
Jon LaRochester
