Dear parents and guardians,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from the superintendency of the
Queensbury Union Free School District effective January 31, 2020. While I would like to
continue my work with parents, faculty, staff, students and the Queensbury community for many
more years, time has a way of creating different chapters in our lives and it is time for me to start
a new one.
My retirement date will allow sufficient time for the Board of Education to conduct a thorough
superintendent search, ensuring a smooth transition in leadership. In the meantime, I remain
fully committed to our continued efforts to create the very finest learning opportunities for all
Queensbury students.
I have felt honored and privileged to be part of this incredibly outstanding school district. Each
and every day at Queensbury, I continue to feel great excitement and energy from the
opportunity of working with our entire education community and the Board of Education in our
ongoing efforts to create the very finest public schools possible. My greatest rewards have
come from the result of witnessing the highly valued, important and essential work that shapes
bright and rewarding futures for Queensbury children and young adults.
I look forward to seeing our students return to school in September for another productive and
rewarding school year. The very best to you and your family and enjoy your summer.
Sincerely,
Doug Huntley
