Veteran Administrator To Lead Massapequa High School

“The job is not the job until the students get here,” said Brian Conboy, the interim principal of Massapequa High School, about his excitement for the start of the new school year.

The Massapequa School District selected the experienced educator and administrator to serve as interim principal of the 1,650-student high school for the entire 2018-19 school year. A thorough and extensive search will begin later this year for a permanent principal.

Conboy brings 33 years of educational experience, including 21 as an administrator, to Massapequa. He spent his entire career in the neighboring Seaford School District until his retirement in 2017. After serving as a math and science teacher at the middle school, he was the high school assistant principal for a year,
middle school principal for seven years, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and personnel for six years, and superintendent for seven years.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in educator from SUNY Geneseo, a master’s degree in education from Hofstra University and a certificate of advanced studies in educational administration from Hofstra. Conboy is a Massapequa resident and his son, Sean (2013), and daughter, Katie (2015), are graduates of Massapequa High School.

He said he looks forward to working with the experienced and talented faculty and administrators to uphold that tradition of excellence.

“I know that Massapequa is a great district because my children were educated here,” he said. “I’m pleased to have the opportunity to give back to the school district and to the community. There is a long history here of providing a safe, vibrant educational environment which reflects the values of the community, and I look to carry that on.”
