From the official press release…

At a special meeting on December 20, the Byram Hills Board of Education appointed Mr. Christopher Borsari to the position of Byram Hills High School Principal, effective July 1, 2008. Mr. Borsari will succeed Dr. Bill Donohue, who will move from the high school to the district office, as Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources and Leadership Development, also on July 1, 2008.

In taking this step, Mr. Borsari will resume service to the district he calls “home� after two years as principal of Sleepy Hollow Middle School in Tarrytown. Before assuming the principal’s position in Tarrytown, he served for 11 years as a teacher of social studies in the H.C. Crittenden Middle School, and another three years as Byram Hills High School assistant principal. He has a B.A. from the University of Virginia, a master’s degree from Manhattanville, and administrative certification from SUNY New Paltz and Manhattanville.

Byram Hills expects Mr. Borsari to be a very visible leader at BHHS; he earned a reputation for frequent and visible presence in the hallways and classrooms of the school while assistant principal, and is much respected by students, staff, and parents. The board, district administrators, and teachers present for the announcement of Mr. Borsari’s appointment joined in hearty applause at the news of his expected return.
