Superintendent's Message

Dear Paterson Students, Families, Staff, and Community Members,

I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new Superintendent of the Paterson School District.

For more than 25 years, I have served as a teacher, principal, superintendent, executive director, and international school leader. Throughout my career, I have learned that strong relationships and trust are the foundation of successful schools.

I grew up in a hardworking blue collar family. When I am not working in education, I enjoy spending time with family, writing, and carving.

As we prepare for the new school year, I encourage students to begin thinking about their goals. What do you want to accomplish this year? Where do you want to be in 5 years? 10 years?

I am excited to meet our students, families, staff, and community members in the months ahead. Thank you for the warm welcome. Together, we are going to have a great year!

Sincerely,

Aaron Chavez
Superintendent
Paterson School District
