Hello and Welcome to York Township Elementary!
I have been the Principal at York Township Elementary School since
2016, and am proud to work with the professional staff who serve our community and
families who attend our school. I believe
strongly in educating the whole child - academically, emotionally, and socially
- especially in the formative years of elementary education.
Before arriving at York Township, I taught Mathematics, Social
Studies, and English Language Arts at Linglestown and Central Dauphin Middle
Schools in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In 2013, I became an Assistant
Principal for the Susquenita School District in Duncannon, Pennsylvania, working
at both the Elementary and Middle School levels. I completed my Bachelor’s
Degree in K-6 Elementary Education at Penn State University before earning my
Master’s Degree in Educational Instructional Media and Technology from Wilkes
University and my Pennsylvania School Administration Certification from Cabrini
College. Personally, I am married, have
two children, two cats, and a dog. Our family enjoys being outdoors, sports and
exercise, reading, playing games, and all things Disney.
Marie
Curie once stated “You cannot hope to build a
better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must
work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility
for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we
can be most useful.” This mindset simply
yet eloquently parallels the deepest foundations of public education. Intending to build a better, stronger
civilization for tomorrow by investing in those whom will inherit it, we as
educators have a fundamental responsibility to do whatever we can to improve
the individuals coming through our doors each day.
With that in mind, frequent, respectful, and honest communication
between home and school is a crucial component of creating a successful educational
experience for each child. I am always
interested in speaking with families regarding any questions, concerns, or
feedback you may have about your child’s education. Please feel welcome to contact me via email
at [email protected] or phone at 717-741-2281.
I look forward to working with your family as we partner together
for an amazing school year!
Sincerely,
Marcus Bouchillon
Principal
