Today, we extend our sincere thanks to Superintendent Randy Squier as he concludes 15 years of dedicated service to the Coxsackie-Athens Central School District.
Throughout his tenure, Superintendent Squier led our students and staff through the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, oversaw more than $22 million in capital improvements, guided our district’s rebranding as the Riverhawks, and helped establish the Coxsackie-Athens Foundation for Education. His leadership has left a lasting impact on our schools and community.
Today’s appreciation was made even more special as students lined the halls to give Superintendent Squier a heartfelt clap out, sharing smiles, high fives, and applause to say thank you. Moments like this truly reflect the strong connections he helped build across our district.
We are grateful for his commitment to our students, staff, and families, and we wish him all the best in his well earned retirement. Thank you, Mr. Squier, for 15 years of service to this school district. 🦅

Our recent Grade 2 Career and Community Interviews were a huge success thanks to the thoughtful planning of Mrs. Civill and Miss Feldle and the generosity of our community members. Students had the opportunity to meet with Athens American Legion, EMS, fire and police personnel, retired teachers, a lifeguard coordinator, and members of the Town DPW crew to learn firsthand about their professions.
Students came prepared with meaningful questions, eager to gain a deeper understanding of the work these professionals do and what it takes to pursue each career. The conversations were engaging, informative, and inspiring—bringing real-world learning to life in a powerful way.
A big thank you to all who volunteered their time and shared their experiences. This was a wonderful example of school and community coming together to support student learning!

🚀 Our future engineers were busy dreaming big this weekend!
On Saturday, January 17, 2026, 10 middle school students traveled to Shaker High School to compete in the Future City Albany Regional Competition alongside Technology Teacher Andrew Wager and Math Teacher Garrett Mackey. After months of hard work, our students proudly showcased their futuristic city, Cidade Dos Siete, inspired by the cultural landscape of Brazil and designed to solve real world challenges like food waste and access to fresh food. A city with a $100 budget and designed to exist 100 years in the future.
From “locust bots” that monitor crops to an AI powered grocery store that helps reduce waste, these creative thinkers truly impressed the judges. Their dedication paid off with two awards, Most Innovative Moving Part and Best Design and Construction of a Bridge. They even had the chance to celebrate with Congressman and former engineer Paul Tonko.
We are so proud of our students for their creativity, teamwork, and perseverance. The future is looking very bright. 👏
