Commack High School Assistant Principal Named

Michael Larson was appointed as an assistant principal at Commack High School, beginning August 15, 2016. Michael will fill the position left vacant when former assistant principal, Leslie Boritz, was named the new high school principal.

“Michael is a dynamic educator, who is compassionate and committed to our students,” stated Dr. Donald James, Superintendent of Commack Schools. “His experience working one-on-one as both a class and Student Council advisor and as Coordinator of Student Affairs and Attendance has provided insight into the culture and views of our children at the high school. Michael’s commitment to the students, their parents, and his fellow staff members is evident in his many accomplishments at Commack High.

A graduate of Plymouth State University with a Masters degree in Special Education and an Advanced Graduate Certificate (SBL/SDL) from Stony Brook University, Michael lives in Stony Brook with his wife and son. His career in Commack High School began in 2007 as a secondary social studies educator, teaching history, economics, and government.

The new assistant principal is “Grateful for the opportunity to work with a gifted group of educators and staff members, administrators, as well as parents and guardians in support of students, and to build upon the established foundation of excellence that is Commack High School. I am looking forward to the enriching experiences ahead and am excited to continue working with so many incredible professionals.”
