Stuart Horlacher has been an educator since 2001.  After teaching physics at Cardinal Spellman High School for one year, he moved to Ardsley High School where he continued to teach physics until 2015. In 2015, he became the Assistant Principal at Ardsley Middle School; he has been the Principal since 2017.  He received his undergraduate degree from University of Delaware and graduate degrees from University of Bridgeport and Manhattanville College.  

I am thrilled to be joining the Ardsley community as the Assistant Principal of Ardsley Middle School. I began my career in education as a third grade teacher at The Dalton School in Manhattan. For the next 8 years I taught 3rd, 4th and 5th grade at PS 64 in the Lower East Side. I then continued there as a Literacy Coach for the past two years, during which time I completed my Administrative Degree at Hunter College. I grew up in Edgemont, and after graduating I earned my Undergraduate Degree from Colgate University, double majoring in English and Education. I received my Masters Degree in Childhood Education from Bank Street College. I believe that the education of a child takes a whole community, which is why I am so genuinely excited to be joining such a collaborative, supportive environment. I look forward to meeting, and working with, all of the amazing people that make the Ardsley community what it is today.
