Ralph Marguy is a proud dad of children in both the Orange and Amity school systems. Ralph and his wife chose to raise their family in Orange because of our top-ranked schools, agricultural history (he co-owns a chicken and apiary farm in town), and shared values. He’s been an active participant in his children’s educational experience, volunteering for programs like “Art Goes to School,” helping in the Race Brook School library, and assisting with field days.

Ralph believes it’s important for students to feel supported by their whole community. He also believes that students’ voices matter, and that they should be involved in the conversation around education. He holds that when students are part of the conversation, we create schools that challenge them academically while strengthening their sense of community and belonging.
