Dr. Michelle Gosh is the proud Superintendent of the Brewster Central School District, having previously served as a teacher, coach, and in various administrative roles throughout her 25+ year career with the District. Driven by the belief that public education is the cornerstone of our democracy, Dr. Gosh and the team at Brewster are relentlessly committed to creating multiple pathways for students' success and creating optimal learning conditions and opportunities for our students.
Brewster is the only district in Putnam County to have received the prestigious P-TECH grant, resulting in associate degrees in high-demand STEM fields at no additional cost to our students. Brewster was also the first in the County to offer Pre-K, resulting in every interested student being offered a placement on campus or with one of our community partners. Our two-way dual language program at the elementary level capitalizes on our linguistic and cultural diversity, and our robust dual enrollment courses offer students the opportunity to earn high school and college credits concurrently at a discounted rate and in our supportive high school environment. Other ways in which we serve our diverse student population is through our nationally-recognized NJROTC program and our expansive extra and co-curricular offerings in grades K-12.
Thanks to our community’s investment in our schools, we are in the final stages of an $80 million capital construction project that has added a cafetorium to our intermediate school, and a second turf field, a state-of-the-art field house and fitness center, and a cutting-edge STEM Lab at Brewster High School.
Michelle earned her doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 2019, and also holds advanced degrees from Fordham and Western Connecticut State Universities.
