Imran Abbasi began serving as the new assistant middle schools principal, effective September 2.
Before joining Niskayuna, Abbasi served as the assistant principal for grades 6-12 at the Cairo-Durham Junior-Senior High School. He previously taught grade 7 social studies for six years in the Bethlehem Central School District. Abbasi began his career in education working as a grades 7-8 English Language Arts/Social Studies teacher in an at-risk intervention program at the Livingston Magnet Academy in Albany.
Superintendent of Schools Kevin Baughman’s recommendation to appoint Abbasi followed an extensive search process that included input from parents, staff and administrators.
“Imran possesses extensive knowledge of teaching and learning at the middle school level," said Superintendent Kevin Baughman. "His skills and his high level of energy and enthusiasm will make him a valuable asset to both the Van Antwerp and Iroquois school communities."
Abbasi graduated Magna Cum Laude from the State University at Albany with a bachelor’s degree in social studies education. After completing his master’s degree in curriculum development and instructional technology, he earned his School District Administration Certification from the University at Albany.
