JACKSON, Wyo. — On May 11, Teton County School District (TCSD) #1 announced the hiring of Bennett Lieberman as the new Jackson Hole High School principal.
According to a TCSD press release, Lieberman is relocating from New York City with 18 years of experience as the principal at Central Park East High School (CPEHS). In his role as a master principal he served as a mentor to new principals and provided leadership to promote excellence and achievement.
Other accomplishments at CPEHS included seeing an increase in the graduation rate from a low of 37.5 percent in 2005 to consistent annual 100 percent outcomes, where 89 percent of 2019 CPEHS graduates achieved New York State “College Ready” status.
“I am thrilled to be bringing in an educational professional with 18 years of leadership experience and a strong focus on supporting students reaching their goals,” Superintendent Dr. Gillian Chapman said. “He will be able to build on the high quality education our students currently receive. Bennett will be an exceptional addition to Jackson Hole High School and our District.”
Lieberman has Bachelor of Science from Bard College, a Master of Science in Education from Bank Street College of Education and a Master in Educational Leadership from Baruch College.
“I am humbled that Superintendent Chapman and the Jackson Hole community are placing their trust in me to continue and build on the high schools’ success and excellence,” Lieberman said.
“After visiting the dynamic Jackson Hole community, meeting staff in multiple schools and learning more about the district’s collaborative and focused approach to supporting all students, I was immediately struck by our shared set of values. My wife Kyle, our son Oskar and our dog Captain love the great outdoors and we cannot wait to enjoy the awesomeness and majesty of the Jackson Hole area.”
Lieberman will be joining TCSD on Aug. 1 to prepare for the 2023-2024 school year.
