“There was no dress rehearsal. So people learned on the fly.”
Those sentiments from Port Jervis High School principal Andrew Marotta
perfectly describe the first several weeks and months of the Covid-19
pandemic.
And, though more than a year has passed since the pandemic started,
school leaders are still quick to acknowledge the boundless energy and
effort put forth by faculty and staff to ensure students’ needs are met. A
sense of awe still lingers…and rightly so.
