New principal appointed at George Washington Intermediate School

The West Hempstead School District is proud to announce that Robyn Milliner has been named the new principal at George Washington Intermediate School, effective Aug. 1. 

Ms. Milliner attended Adelphi University where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, and a Master of Arts degree in childhood education. She also earned a Master of Science degree in education at the College of Saint Rose in Albany. 

Over the past nine years, Ms. Milliner has served as a school leader throughout New York City public schools, in which she has garnered a well-deserved reputation for fostering a nurturing and dynamic learning environment. Her approach to leadership is rooted in promoting academic achievement, cultivating strong relationships between students and teachers, and encouraging personal growth for all. 

Ms. Milliner’s impressive background includes spearheading initiatives that have yielded remarkable results. As principal of a single-gender school, she piloted a phonics curriculum aligned with best practices, resulting in 98% of her kindergartners reading at or above grade level by the end of the 2022-2023 school year. 

“This achievement is a testament to her ability to coach and develop teachers in implementing innovative practices that drive student success,” said Superintendent of Schools Dan Rehman. “With her wealth of knowledge, passion for education, and commitment to creating inclusive and supportive environments, Ms. Milliner is poised to lead George Washington Intermediate School into an exciting new chapter.” 

The district commends Ms. Milliner on her new position and looks forward to her service at George Washington.
