Dr. Tom Elliott

In my role as Superintendent and Principal, I am honored to be leading one of the most unique public schools in New York State. Our school’s strong commitment to student success results in outstanding academic achievement by our diverse student body. The warm welcome that I received is characteristic of the way our school community includes newcomers (young and old alike). Here, from a group of fourth grade students, are the top ten reasons why Pocantico Hills is a great place for teaching and learning:

 10.    Our history is unique and intriguing.

  9.     We are small, and as you know, good things come in small packages.

  8.     Our students are multi-cultural and we celebrate our differences.

  7.     We have fantastic special area teachers and our library has amazing books.

  6.     We'll always keep you busy with our programs and special events.

  5.     We're bully-free and we love making people feel welcome.

  4.     If you can't beat the heat, you can jump in our pool.

  3.     We are always excited to help our community-our school may be small, but our hearts are huge.

  2.    Our teachers, staff and students really rock.

And the number one reason is...

  1.    You'll always have a friend at Pocantico Hills!

We are justifiably proud of our school and its students and staff and extend a sincere welcome.
