Mrs. Lisa O'Shea

Hello! It is with enthusiasm that I begin as principal of Crompond Elementary School. I began my career in education 20 years ago as an elementary special education teacher at Mt. Pleasant Blythedale School in Valhalla, NY. I taught for 14 years, served as Coordinator of Student Services and Chairperson for the Committee on Special Education. In 2002, I was honored to be hired as principal of Mt. Pleasant Blythedale. In this capacity, I had numerous opportunities to facilitate, grow and reflect as an instructional leader. I believe in the power of collaboration and communication to meet the needs of the students, parents, and teachers. Although it was a difficult decision to leave my previous school, I am excited about the opportunity to be part of the YCSD which recognizes the value and importance of family-school-community partnerships in educating all students.

As a resident of Yorktown, my two children have recently been students at Crompond Elementary School. My family values the education they recieved, both academically and socially. I am proud to be part of a school whose motto is "Home of the Mind and the Heart." I look forward to leading this school community!
