The City School District of Â鶹ӰÒô is pleased to welcome back C. Fred Engelhardt Jr. to serve as its director of grants and program development.

Engelhardt, who has served as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction in the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District since 2017, has extensive experience in Â鶹ӰÒô.

He began his educational career in 2004 as a teacher at Sheridan Preparatory Academy. In 2012, he became principal of Â鶹ӰÒô School of Humanities (ASH), where he served five years before accepting the district leadership position at Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk.
