Dear Roslyn Families,

The Roslyn School District is proud to announce the selection of Michelle Hazen for the position of Principal of Harbor Hill Elementary School. The Roslyn Board of Education officially appointed her yesterday and she began her new position today.

As a veteran educator with 25 years of experience at the Roslyn School District, Ms. Hazen is well known to our school community. Since 2019, she has served as the assistant principal of Harbor Hill Elementary School. Prior to that, she was a first grade teacher and assistant principal at Heights. 

Deeply familiar with the traditions and educational practices of our district, Ms. Hazen is primed for this new leadership position. She is both thrilled and delighted to be of even greater service to the community in which she already cares for very deeply.

Ms. Hazen earned her Master of Elementary Education and Master of Special Education from Adelphi University, her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin, and holds an Advanced Certificate in Educational Leadership from LIU Post. She was instrumental in the planning and implementation of last year’s reopening plan, designed and launched a school-wide STEAM program, and created a school-wide kindness initiative. In 2001, she was awarded the PTA Jenkins award for exceptional teaching.

The Roslyn Board of Education unanimously agreed that Ms. Hazen was by far the best candidate for this position and I am confident that she will be successful in her new role. I look forward to seeing her strengthen and build meaningful relationships with the students and families of Harbor Hill, and I’m excited to see what innovations and ideas she will bring to the district in the years to come.

Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Ms. Hazen to her new role as Harbor Hill Elementary School Principal!

Sincerely,

Allison Brown

Superintendent of Schools
