Dear RCSD Community,

I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable spring recess. It seems that while we were on break, spring actually showed up. We are now into the fourth and final quarter of the school year, also known as “busy season.” Last night was the Senior Arts Awards, which kicked off our senior class celebrations.  It was also the Rye Youth Council’s Spring Soiree. I was incredibly flattered to be the honoree, but in my opinion, the true honors should go to my colleagues in our five schools who spend every day working to make sure our students are supported so they can be their best socially and emotionally.

Dear RCSD Community,

So much cold and rain!  Let’s hope it brings some of those May flowers, stat. In the meantime, the weather has been causing a lot of disruption. The Midland playground ribbon cutting had to be moved from Monday to Wednesday this week. Lots of sports practices and games have been affected. We were able to get the sod delivered to the newly-renovated High School/Middle School softball field in between downpours. I don’t know about you, but I feel like March and April were a bit of a slog this year - literally as well as figuratively!

Dear RCSD Community,

Here we are in April, which is certainly bringing us a lot of showers! Believe it or not, we are finishing up the third quarter of the 2024-2025 school year. That happened fast!  We are at work on the End-of-Year calendars so you can keep track of all the doings at every level. We usually get those out to families in May.

Dear Rye High School Students and Families,

I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new principal of Rye High School. Throughout the principal selection process, I had the opportunity to speak with dozens of members of the RHS community, including students, families, and staff, and I have been so impressed by the community’s collective commitment to ensuring every RHS student has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. It’s because of this collective commitment that I step into this role feeling a deep sense of responsibility. Rye High School has long been a beacon of academic excellence, and it is my goal to continue building on the school’s strong foundation. 

I am eager to hit the ground learning by meeting with our amazing students, talented educators, engaged parents, and local community members. I come to Rye with 20 years of experience in education working as a social studies teacher, basketball coach, and school administrator in Boston, the Dominican Republic, New York City, and Yonkers. My approach as an educator has always centered around a deep belief in the power of community, building relationships, supporting students, and working and leading from the heart. I am of the belief that all students can learn and thrive when provided with a supportive, inclusive, and engaging environment that nurtures their individual strengths and potential. 

On a personal note, I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in California and completed my undergraduate and graduate studies at Tufts University. I come from a culturally mixed background–my father is Japanese and my mother is of Russian Jewish ancestry. I am fluent in Spanish and am in the process of learning Japanese. I live in Westchester with my wife and two kids, ages 3 and 16. In addition to enjoying quality time with my family, I like to read, listen to podcasts, exercise, garden, play chess, and dance some salsa and bachata from time to time.

As your principal, I am committed to listening, learning, and leading as we collectively build on the culture and traditions that make Rye High School special. I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming months and hearing your hopes and aspirations for our school. Together, we can make Rye High School an even greater place of learning and growth, where we prepare our students to achieve their dreams and contribute meaningfully to the world. 

Thank you for welcoming me into the Rye community. I am excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities we will create together for our students!

Sincerely, 

Andrew Hara, Principal
Rye High School
