Richard Loeschner

2018 Grand Marshal

Richard Loeschner has been a part of the Brentwood School District for over seventeen years, serving in various administrative capacities. He was appointed Superintendent of Schools in July 2017.

After teaching mathematics for fifteen years, Mr. Loeschner came to Brentwood High School as the Mathematics Department Head. He was promoted to Assistant Principal at North Middle School before returning to the High School as the Associate Principal.

He later was named Principal of South Middle School before returning to the High School as Principal for seven years.

In 2016, Mr. Loeschner was nominated for and received the New York State High School Principal of the Year award. He has been credited with leading the High School through significant challenges and turning the school culture around. Under his guidance, the graduation rate increased by 17 percent, with approximately 85 percent of the graduating class attending two or four year colleges.

Mr. Loeschner is a strong believer in a trustful, happy and loving learning environment.

He attends as many extracurricular and special events as possible. He makes himself available to administrators, faculty, staff and students. He has managed to succeed in doing his administrative work, as well as building relationships with students and the Brentwood community.

Mr. Loeschner has been married to the love of his life, Annemarie, for over thirty years and he couldn’t be more proud of his three wonderful children; sons Richard and Christopher, and daughter Emily.
