Dr. Margie Daniels

Dr. Margie M. Daniels is an administrator in the Peekskill City School District with over 20 years experience in the field of education.  As the administrator of Equity and Diversity, she has been afforded the opportunity to grow with the Peekskill City School District in keeping its promise in giving our best for ALL STUDENTS and the PEEKSKILL COMMUNITY.

A lifelong learner, Margie is a graduate of St. John’s University, where she earned her doctorate in 2015.  However, she proudly states that she attended and graduated from Westchester Community College, and while there she learned how to be a student and to enjoy what education can open to you.

As a member of a number of civic organizations and social action networks, I find it imperative that I be involved in community action.  Only through action and dedication to social justice causes, will we be able to right the wrongs around us.

As the great, Muhammad Ali stated, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth,” is what I believe.  My greatest joy comes from service, and I believe that that is a gift God has given me. 

A lover of travel and enjoying life to the fullest, is my delight! Seeing and experiencing God’s beauty in the world domestically and abroad is fulfilling and something that I encourage young people to do.  That’s a passion that I love and continue to bask in.

While Jackson loved being in the classroom, she realized that in order to influence real change in school districts she needed to leave the classroom and seek a district level administrative position.  Her father had always told her “Traci, if you are not at the table, you will always be on the menu.” She decided to seek a seat at the table by joining the City School District of New Rochelle as the Executive Director for Human Resources.  She is excited to be a member of an executive administrative team who have become change agents on the path towards leaving a legacy of inclusivity, betterment, and opportunities for all members of the school community.
