South Glens Falls High School Principal Nicky Bogert has announced she will be leaving the district, with her last official day on Friday, Oct. 30.
Bogert—who has been a principal at South Glens Falls High School since July 2024—is leaving the District to return to Shaker High School, where she was previously an administrative dean, as the Lafollette Hall Principal.
“Serving as principal at South Glens Falls High School has been an absolute honor and privilege. We have an amazing team of people here at South High and the next principal will be lucky to have the opportunity to serve with this exceptional group,” Bogert said.
“Nicky Bogert has provided outstanding leadership for our students, staff, and school community,” said Superintendent Dr. Michele Whitley. “We wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors.”
To assist in the search for our next principal, the district has launched a community ThoughtExchange to help determine the most important skills, experiences and characteristics that our ideal candidate should demonstrate and possess. Participants will be asked to share ideas and consider and assign stars to the ideas shared by others.
All thoughts and stars are confidential. Contributors can come back as often as they’d like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to give a star rating to some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on. The ThoughtExchange will remain open through 11:59 p.m on Friday, October 9th.
The district is also putting together a hiring committee that will include staff, students, parents and guardians and community members. To join the list of potential members, please complete this Google form. We will release information about the committee’s makeup, a hiring timeline and other information in the coming weeks.
“Community involvement in this hiring process ensures that our next high school principal reflects the priorities of our staff, families, community, and—most importantly—our students,” said Whitley.
