Chris Borsari

Chris Borsari has spent 31 years as an educational leader. His experiences have ranged from middle school teacher to high school principal and superintendent of schools. More importantly he has aspired to fulfill his professional responsibilities while remaining a present and engaged husband, father, son, and friend. Throughout both his personal and professional journey Chris has directly benefited from the formal and informal coaching and mentoring of several “critical friends” who guided and supported him to be the best version of himself, no matter which “hat” he was wearing.

Chris has remained a servant leader throughout his career. Keeping people; students, employees, parents, and colleagues at the forefront of his decision making has always been his North Star.  Chris’ most cherished memories are grounded in the positive and nurturing relationships he has built with the people he has served, especially students and their families. Mentoring and coaching others through challenging personal experiences, difficult decisions, required organizational change, and collaborative leadership development provides him with great personal satisfaction. Chris’ varied experience, well developed interpersonal communication skills and ability to assist individuals build clarity, set goals, and process outcomes can empower them as they strive to develop and meet personal, professional, and organizational aspirations.

In his spare time, Chris, a former Division I athlete, enjoys cheering on the Virginia Cavaliers, spending time with his wife and three children, boating on Candlewood Lake, and reading an eclectic selection of literature. He holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Virginia, a masters in teaching and advanced certificates in educational leadership from Manhattanville College.
