ASSIGNMENT: Howard L. Goff Middle School, 12 Month Position
DATE OF EMPLOYMENT: July 1, 2025
East Greenbush Central School District is seeking a leader committed to educational excellence.
Howard L. Goff Middle School is designed to meet and respond to the unique needs of early adolescents. It is our purpose to structure the setting in which learning can take place in order to promote natural, social and cultural growth for a student. Goff Middle School is organized into “Houses”. Within the “House” structure there are three 6th grade teams, three 7th grade teams and two 8th grade teams. The Houses and Teams were implemented with the belief that each student’s total education experience would be best met with a “school within a school” structure.

The potential improvements realized within a team structure are flexible scheduling, team teaching and interdisciplinary instruction.
