About Central York Middle School
Greetings Panther Family,
First and foremost, I would like to formally introduce myself as the principal of Central York Middle School. Recently, I was the assistant principal at Central York High School prior to transitioning to Central York Middle School . Previously in my career, I have spent fifteen years at the middle school level both as a teacher and assistant principal. I'm honored and excited to work with our middle school students and families.
As a proud parent to five children, it is both challenging and rewarding at the same time. I pride myself in always putting the best interests of your child(ren) and our school at the center of all decisions. We want to ensure that all children have access to educational opportunities to reach their full potential.
One of the most important aspects of being your building principal will be to build relationships with our students, staff, and families. I take great pride in building these relationships to create a culture of self-respect and respect for others in our school and community.
I look forward to learning and growing with our fantastic students, dedicated staff, supportive parents, and community.
With Panther Pride,
Jerry Eisner
