Kenneth Graham​ Leaving Sachem Superintendent Post

Kenneth Graham is leaving Sachem after four years of serving as superintendent.

Graham, 47, was appointed superintendent of the Locust Valley Central School District Tuesday night. He will begin his new job on July 1, replacing Acting Superintendent Thomas Dolan.

Graham spent the first two decades of his career in Long Beach where he served as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction before he replaced James Nolan Sachem's superintendent in 2016.

Graham said he had "mixed emotions" about leaving Sachem.

"I understand that the timing of this change is not ideal, and I realize the uncertainty that this will bring," he said in a message to district families Wednesday afternoon.
