Spencerport Central School District

We are so proud of our Spencerport students, representing the district and BOCES 2 Career and Technical Education at the 2026 NYS SkillsUSA Championships, April 22-24, in Syracuse.

Special congratulations to senior D'sheaa Howard, who earned a second-place team finish in the Community Action Project: Child and Family competition. D'sheaa is pictured on the left with a team member from Gates Chili.

In total, BOCES 2 CTE students medaled in 11 competitions. 

On April 15, Spencerport 10th-grade student Bridget Courtney traveled to Albany to represent Section V at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Student Leadership Conference. The conference is an annual one-day event for current sophomores and juniors. Students must apply and be chosen from a pool of athletes to represent their division. Bridget is the first Spencerport student to represent Section V at the conference. 

Bridget is a three-season athlete, participating in varsity cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor track. She also represents Spencerport in the Section V Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) which meets to discuss the athletic communities across Section V.

“In SAAC, we do a lot of training with modified athletes,” said Bridget. “We have programs about sportsmanship, how to be a good teammate, and building community.”

Given her involvement in Section V leadership, Bridget applied to the Student Leadership Conference in the fall. “I thought this conference would be a good opportunity because I’ve never participated in leadership at the state level. I really wanted to learn what others are experiencing.”

The goal of the Student Leadership Conference is to help athletes sharpen their leadership skills to positively influence their teams and athletic communities. “For me, the best part of the conference were the speakers. They had past professional athletes and educators who had really interesting perspectives. Jeremy Thode, the keynote speaker, spoke about overcoming personal challenges which I thought was very interesting.”

Bridget plans to bring what she learned at the Student Leadership Conference back to her teams and the Spencerport athletic community, applying new leadership strategies and perspectives throughout her seasons.

Please note the last day of school for the 2025–2026 school year is as follows:

Thank you for your continued partnership each school year, as we meet the New York State’s instructional requirements and factor in the likelihood of snow days. 

The Board of Education officially adopted the calendar for the 2026-27 school year. The list of dates may be found attached.
