November 26, 2012, Tarrytown, New York ---The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns is pleased to announce that Dr. Howard Smith will be the honoree for the Foundation’s largest fundraiser, the 19th Annual Dinner Dance and Auction. The event will take place on April 13, 2013, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Tarrytown.
Dr. Smith announced last May that he would be retiring in June of 2013, after 12 years of service at the public schools of the Tarrytowns. Smith noted that he wanted to give the school district ample time to conduct a search for a new superintendent. The district has hired a search firm that has met with faculty, students, parents and administrators to help find the best possible candidates.
