The Schuylerville Central School District Board of Education plans to appoint Mrs. Marissa Macey as the new principal of Schuylerville Elementary School at its April 13 meeting. Macey currently serves as elementary principal of Kensington Road School in the Glens Falls City School District, where she has served since July of 2024. A 15-member search committee interviewed eight candidates and unanimously recommended Macey as the sole finalist for Board of Education consideration.
“Throughout her time spent with the Board, Mrs. Macey demonstrated a clear, student-centered vision for the elementary school, and a strong commitment to fostering a positive school culture,” said Board of Education President Bernie Buff. “She has an energetic and collaborative approach to leadership and her passion for educating students and creating a place where they can truly thrive was evident in every aspect of her interview.”
Macey brings more than a decade of experience in education to Schuylerville, including prior leadership and classroom roles. Before becoming principal at Kensington Road School, she served as assistant principal at Sanford Street Elementary through WSWHE BOCES, where she supported student interventions, coordinated with families and outside agencies, and helped strengthen academic and behavioral systems. Earlier in her career, Macey was an elementary classroom teacher in the South Glens Falls Central School District for nine years, teaching multiple grade levels and serving as a district-wide instructional teacher leader. Within that role, Macey mentored colleagues, led professional development sessions on foundational literacy strategies, and piloted innovative curriculum approaches adopted district-wide. She began her career as a third grade teacher in the Minerva Central School District.
“I am deeply honored to be joining Schuylerville Elementary School and becoming part of a community with such a proud tradition of excellence,” said Macey. “The warmth and dedication I have already experienced reflect what makes this school and district truly special. I look forward to working alongside staff, families, and students to continue that tradition and build upon it together.”
Macey earned a Bachelor of Science in Childhood Education from the State University of New York College at Oneonta, as well as a Master of Science in Literacy B-6 and Special Education 1-6, from the University at Albany. She also holds a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Building Leadership (SBL). Macey lives in South Glens Falls with her husband and two daughters, ages 7 and 4. She will begin at Schuylerville on or about July 1.
“We are very proud to welcome Mrs. Macey to Schuylerville,” said Superintendent Dr. Ryan Sherman. “The search committee’s unanimous recommendation speaks volumes about her leadership, experience, and the impression she made throughout the process. We are confident she will be a tremendous addition to our team and look forward to the positive impact she will have on our school community.”
