Special features:
Dr. James H. Naylor/CCSU Leadership Academy was named after Dr. James H. Naylor. Dr. Naylor was born in Schuylerville,
New York in 1869. After graduating from medical school, Dr. Naylor became a practicing physician in the city of Hartford,
and became very active in civic affairs. He was a member of the South School District Committee and became its president
in 1920. When the last school in the South District was opened in 1927, it was named after him as attribute to Dr. Naylor’s
great interest and concerns surrounding education.
Collectively, our focus is targeted at increased student achievement. We work to achieve this through teacher preparation,
professional development, technology and grants. Our collaboration is a critical area of focus.
