Gregory Leger has been appointed as an assistant principal of East Islip High School, replacing James Horan.

Prior to coming to East Islip, Leger worked as a school counselor and varsity baseball coach at Elmont Memorial High School in the Sewanhaka Central High School District. He is also a current reservist in the U.S. Coast Guard.

A Massapequa Park resident, Leger earned his bachelor’s degree in English from University of Massachusetts Lowell, his master’s degree in education for school counseling from Cambridge College and his certificate of advanced study in school building and school district leadership from the College of Saint Rose.

“I am truly excited to immerse myself in the East Islip community,” Leger said “I look forward to building strong, positive relationships with students, staff, families and community members. I couldn’t be more excited to serve as assistant principal in such a historically successful school district and community as East Islip.”
