Ethan Conrad, Saugerties High School Class of 2022, continues to make history. The former Outstanding Male Athlete for Saugerties was selected in the first round of the 2025 Major League Baseball Draft by the Chicago Cubs—17th overall—marking a major milestone in a standout baseball journey that began right here in Saugerties.

On June 18, Grant D. Morse students marked a major milestone with a heartfelt moving-up ceremony as they officially wrapped up their elementary school journey. From classroom moments to character awards, they were celebrated for all their hard work, kindness, and growth.

We want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible careers and dedication of 11 individuals who have decided to take the giant leap into retirement.

Saugerties Central School District Superintendent Dr. Daniel Erceg recently took a break from his daily responsibilities to visit with a group of the District’s elementary school students who meet regularly to talk about stuttering. The request came from speech pathologists Kelsa Shanley and Kathryn Mendoza who believed the students would benefit from hearing firsthand from someone in a leadership role who also experiences stuttering—someone real, not just a celebrity. Without hesitation, Dr. Erceg agreed.

These dedicated part-time team members play a big role in keeping our cafeterias clean, safe, and organized. At Grant D. Morse, the lunch crew often splits time between the cafeteria and the playground—helping students stay safe while also checking in on how they’re doing.

Pre-K is open to children who will be 4 years old on or before December 1, 2025, and is available at no cost to District residents. The program is located at the Mt. Marion Learning Center, 744 Glasco Turnpike, Saugerties, and runs Monday through Friday from 8 AM. to 1 PM. Optional aftercare is available from 1 PM to 6 PM at a daily rate.
