Dear Ellicottville Community

I am truly honored and excited to serve as the next Superintendent of the Ellicottville Central School District. Ellicottville holds a very special place in my heart. I lived here for twelve years, and my three daughters had the privilege of attending school in this district. What makes Ellicottville truly remarkable is the care, kindness, and genuine sense of community that define it, along with a deep commitment to supporting and educating every student. As both a parent and community member, I experienced firsthand the compassion, pride, and dedication that make this district and community so special.

Returning to Ellicottville truly feels like coming home. I am eager to reconnect with the community and to bring my experiences as a teacher, principal, and superintendent back to a district that helped shape my own family. I look forward to building upon the many great things already happening in our schools and supporting the strong culture of excellence, pride, and tradition that is clearly established here.

As we move forward together, I am especially excited about the upcoming capital projects that will enhance our school buildings and learning environments. These improvements reflect our shared commitment to safety, accessibility, and providing high-quality spaces that support student success—today and for years to come. It is inspiring to see our community invest so thoughtfully in the future of our schools.

I look forward to working closely with the Board of Education, our dedicated staff, students, families, and community members as we continue to strengthen the district and ensure success for all learners. Ellicottville’s strengths are many, and together, we will continue to grow and thrive.

As we begin 2026, my goal is to foster and support a positive, inclusive school culture while learning as much as possible about what it truly means to be an Ellicottville Eagle. I am proud to soar forward with you as we build our future together!

Warm regards, Mrs. Tiffany Giannicchi Superintendent of Schools
