The Hudson City School District is conducting a confidential search for a new superintendent who is anticipated to begin on July 1, 2026, with a starting base salary range of $185,000 - $200,000, based on experience. Other benefits to be negotiated.

Located in the heart of Columbia County and overlooking the scenic Hudson River, the Hudson City School District's three schools cover 50 acres on two campuses approximately half a mile apart. HCSD has nearly 400 employees and serves a diverse student population of about 1500 (PK-12). The Board of Education formally adopted the proposed 2025-26 budget of $58,544,000, which included a 3.55% tax levy increase.

The mission of the Hudson City School District is to embrace all students and inspire them to achieve their personal best as Bluehawks and beyond.

Hudson, NY, provides easy access to two fairly large urban centers, Albany to the north and Kingston to the south, as well as the rural setting of historic Columbia County. Its position as a small city nestled next to rural farmland makes Hudson the best of both worlds.

The Hudson City School District offers employment opportunities without regard to sex, race, color, national origin, or disability.
