New York Mills to Welcome New 7-12 Principal

Dear New York Mills Families, Students, Staff and Community,

It is my pleasure to share some exciting news with our school community. The New York Mills Union Free School District has appointed Mr. Todd Manley as the District's new 7-12 principal, effective September 1, 2026. Please join me in extending a warm Marauder welcome!

Mr. Manley brings a wealth of educational experience and an unwavering commitment to student achievement. Throughout his career, he has served as a classroom teacher, dean of students at both the elementary and secondary levels, assistant principal and secondary principal. His diverse experiences, student-centered leadership and collaborative approach make him well-suited to lead our Jr./Sr. high school.

As we continue implementing our strategic plan, “Mapping the Future for Every Marauder,” Mr. Manley will play an integral role in advancing teaching and learning while fostering a school culture where every student is challenged, supported and inspired to reach their full potential. His leadership will help ensure our students continue to develop the knowledge, character and skills embodied in our Portrait of a Marauder, preparing them for success in college, careers and life.

We are excited to welcome Mr. Manley to New York Mills and look forward to the passion, innovation and leadership he will bring to our students, staff and families. I am confident that, working together, we will continue to build upon the proud tradition of academic excellence and community that has long defined the New York Mills Union Free School District.

Please join me in welcoming Mr. Manley to the Marauder family. We look forward to the positive impact he will have on our school community for years to come.

With warm regards,

Michele D. LaGase
Superintendent of Schools
