Coman Hill Elementary School - Byram Hills Central School District

Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to Coman Hill! As you enter into our school you will find an environment that is caring, nurturing, and committed to teaching each and every child. At Coman Hill our faculty and staff are dedicated to helping all students reach their full potential socially, emotionally and academically. From learning how to make “Kelso choices” to applying 21st century skills in daily lessons, Coman Hill students experience robust learning that builds a strong foundation for future success.

At Coman Hill, every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow. We learn from our mistakes and we grow from each choice that we make. By allowing our students to explore, create, and collaborate, we inspire our students to be who they want to be tomorrow. We invite you to become active members of the Coman Hill community. By working together, all of our students will succeed as they journey through Coman Hill and the entire Byram Hills Central School District.

Sincerely,

Peggy McInerney
Principal, Coman Hill Elementary School
