Center Moriches resident Gavin Rodgers joins South Country from the New York City school system, the school district announced this week.
“We are excited to welcome Gavin Rodgers to our district as the Brookhaven Elementary School assistant principal,” said Superintendent of Schools Antonio Santana. “His background in education and commitment to student learning make him a perfect fit for our district.”
Rodgers previously served as the dean of students at Robert F. Wagner Middle School in Manhattan and assistant principal of P.S. 54 in Queens. He is excited to take on the privilege and challenge of migrating from metropolis to suburbia.
“I look forward to supporting the school’s continued success and building on the strong foundation laid by Principal Raymond,” he said.
South Country School District’s newest administrator holds Mathematics Education degrees from Suffolk County Community College, Stony Brook University and Columbia University. He also earned an additional master’s in progressive leadership from Bank Street College of Education’s LEAP Program.
Adds Rodgers: “My professional passion is early elementary mathematics, and I can't wait to share that enthusiasm with our students and staff."
