New Superintendent Selected
Posted on 04/18/2019
The Hoosic Valley CSD Board of Education appointed G. Michael Apostol as the next superintendent of schools, effective July 1, 2019. Mr. Apostol is currently the school district’s interim superintendent.

“I am honored and humbled to be selected to lead the Hoosic Valley Central School District. I have enjoyed my time at Hoosic Valley and look forward to continuing to support our students, staff and school community,” said Mr. Apostol.

Prior to becoming interim superintendent, Mr. Apostol served as Hoosic Valley’s interim high school principal. He began his career in public education as a health and physical education teacher in Albany and later served as an assistant superintendent in Saugerties and high school principal in Mechanicville and Greenville. He also previously worked for the city of Albany. Apostol is a graduate of Troy High School and a veteran of the U.S. Army.

“Mike Apostol stood out among a strong pool of candidates. He brings enthusiasm, hands-on experience and familiarity with the Hoosic Valley school community. We look forward to continuing to work with him,” said Board President Christine Pepe.

The Hoosic Valley CSD Board of Education offered Apostol the superintendent position following an extensive search and interview process, which started in September 2018. Mrs. Pepe said the community’s feedback was reflected in the development of a recruitment brochure and the interview questions.

In September 2018, the Board asked the community to provide feedback on the desired characteristics of the next superintendent and to list questions they would want to ask candidates. More than 120 people submitted feedback via an online survey. The position was then advertised across the state and country in November and December.

A stakeholder committee comprised of 15 members representing staff and community members interviewed nine candidates at the end of January. The Board reviewed the committee’s input and narrowed the field to three semi-finalists, which they interviewed in mid-March.

Questar III BOCES assisted the Board with its search process.
