Superintendent's Office Home

A message from the superintendent can be seen below:

Dear Rockland CSD Families and Community Members,

As I begin my role as superintendent of the Rockland Central School District, I want to share how honored and excited I am to serve our students, staff, families and community.

I was born and raised in Sullivan County and have proudly called this community home for the past 22 years. This is where

I built my home, raised my family and developed lasting relationships. I have taught in the Livingston Manor school, coached for both the Livingston Manor and Roscoe schools, and one of my earliest jobs was as a lifeguard at the Roscoe pool. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the people, traditions and pride that make both communities special. My connection to this district is not only professional but deeply personal, and I am genuinely invested in its future.

As we continue to build upon the foundation of Rockland Central School District, I believe it is important to honor the histories and traditions of both Livingston Manor and Roscoe. Each community brings its own strengths and has a great deal to be proud of. I recognize that the merger has brought different experiences and perspectives. I respect those differences. Regardless of where we stood on the merger, I believe we share a common goal—to see our students, staff, district and communities succeed. We are now one district—one Wolf Pack—and by celebrating our traditions and building upon the strengths of both communities, we have an opportunity to create a district that truly thrives.

My leadership will be built on relationships, trust, open communication, transparency and accountability. I want families, staff and community members to feel comfortable sharing ideas, asking questions and expressing concerns. One of my first priorities will be to listen and learn. I look forward to spending time throughout our district, meeting with staff and families, attending district and community events and hearing your perspectives. 

I believe our families, staff and community members deserve clear communication and an understanding of the decisions that impact our district. While we may not always agree on every decision, I am committed to listening to different perspectives, explaining the reasoning behind decisions and ensuring they are thoughtful, fair and focused on the long-term success of our district. I recognize that trust is earned through actions, not simply words, and I intend to demonstrate that through consistent communication, visibility and follow-through.

I also recognize the responsibility we have to the taxpayers. Our communities have made a significant investment in our district. I am committed to making thoughtful, transparent financial decisions that respect our taxpayers while ensuring we continue to provide quality educational programs, meaningful opportunities for our students, and a positive environment for our staff and families. 

My goal is to continue the work that has already been started on creating a district where students are eager to learn, staff are proud to work, and families and community members feel informed, involved and confident in our schools. I know there will be challenges ahead, but I believe that through honest communication, mutual respect and working together, we can continue to build a strong future for Rockland.

This opportunity means a great deal to me because this is my home. I care deeply about both communities and look forward to working alongside you to continue strengthening a district we can all be proud of.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your superintendent. I look forward to beginning this next chapter together.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Gorr
Superintendent of Schools
