His references used terms such as remarkable, dedicated, and passionate when describing him as an educational professional.
Mr. Steger is very excited to begin his administrative journey at Chautauqua Lake. He stated, “I knew immediately that Chautauqua Lake Central School is a special place! The people that I have met so far - the leadership team, teachers and students, members of the school board - have been incredibly welcoming.” Mr. Steger grew up in Orchard Park, NY, next to the Bills’ stadium and hopes for a Superbowl win next season. He loves to spend time with his wife and 10-month-old daughter, baby Savi. His family loves the outdoors and is extremely excited about the nice weather on its way.

He has completed all of his Educational Leadership courses at St. Bonaventure University. For 15 years, Mr. Steger has enjoyed honing his teaching and leadership skills.

Most recently, he was teaching at Ellicottville Central Schools. “It has been a true blessing to make a career out of working with students and communities to create positive change. I’m honored and excited to get started at Chautauqua Lake,” Mr. Steger added.
