Commack School District Case Study

Commack School District (the District) is an innovative, high-achieving district that is committed to preparing their students for life beyond the classroom. Home to eight public schools, more than 5,500 students and 460 teachers, the District has set itself apart through innovation and reimagining what the education experience could look like.

“At Commack High School, what we’re really doing is transforming what a traditional educational experience looks like,” stated Dr. Jordan Cox, Commack School District’s Superintendent. “We want [students] to think about how their coursework connects to future professions.”

And that’s clear to see when you walk through the doors. From a financial literacy lab and mock courtroom to a greenhouse and fully-functioning, 9-acre historic farm—Commack School District is setting students up for real-world success.

One of the biggest factors in a student’s success lies with the connection they form with their teacher, so it makes sense that the District dedicates the time and resources to offer competitive employee benefits and retirement plans to attract and retain the best talent.

“We recognize that the benefits packages we offer to people are important and they should be low cost, and they should also provide the best possible quality and care for our members,” stated Scott Oshrin, Commack School District’s Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources.
