Superintendent of Schools

Welcome to the Pearl River School District!

I am honored to serve the students, staff, families and communities of the Pearl River School District as Superintendent of Schools since 2014. Our five schools, under the leadership and guidance of our dedicated principals and their staff together with the support of our K-12 students and their families, continue to serve as wonderful places for children to learn and grow. Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with our Board of Education, administrators, teachers and staff to provide outstanding instruction and curriculum, programs, and support for our students and families.

Assuring that our schools and programs are safe, welcoming and inclusive learning environments for each and every student remains our District’s top priority. At the forefront of the 2024-25 school year, the PRSD is committed to providing new opportunities for advancement and growth, as well as continued support of social and emotional learning needs. Through continued collaboration, our talented team aims to foster intellectual growth while providing the very best experiences for our students.

Whether you are a family that is new to the District, or returning, I am confident that you will see that the PRSD is continuously growing and adapting in order to provide our students with critical 21st-century skills necessary for their current and future success in higher education and the workplace.

I sincerely thank you for your continued support of our students and school community where “Every Child Can and Will Learn.”

Sincerely,

Dr. Marco F. Pochintesta
