Ongoing Freeport Superintendent Honored By School Cadets

FREEPORT, NY — Freeport High School said farewell to its superintendent of schools at a recent event.

Dr. Kishore Kuncham was given a traditional Navy paddle from the school's Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.

"Dr. Kuncham has been an integral part of Freeport Public Schools, leading with vision and compassion," said Chief Petty Officer Louis Lopez. “His leadership has left a lasting impact on students, staff and the entire Freeport community, so the traditional paddle is a fitting gift to wish him well in his retirement."

Kuncham is preparing to retire next month.

"I am deeply touched by this gesture," Kuncham said. "Serving as the superintendent of Freeport Public Schools has been one of the greatest honors of my life."
