The Christian School of York (CSY) has announced the appointment of Jeremy Drake as its new head of school, effective July 1.

A seasoned educator, pastor and leader, Jeremy brings nearly 25 years of experience in ministry and education to the role and is committed to discipleship, academic excellence and Christ-centered leadership.

Jeremy most recently served as the executive pastor at Church of the Open Door in York for more than 12 years. His journey into ministry began shortly after marrying his wife, Jennifer, in the New York metro area. He soon found himself called to the classroom as a math teacher in the Bronx, teaching just a few blocks from his favorite team - the Yankees.

As their family grew, the Drakes relocated to northeastern Pennsylvania, where Jeremy taught in the Pocono Mountain School District. In 2013, the Lord led them to York, where he served as pastor of children and family ministries before transitioning into executive leadership at Church of the Open Door.

Jeremy holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Nyack College, a Master of Divinity from Alliance Theological Seminary, an M.S. in secondary education: mathematics from Lehman College, an M.S. in educational administration from the University of Scranton, and a Doctor of Ministry in theology and apologetics from Liberty University.

His daughter, Leah, is currently a sophomore at CSY, and Jennifer serves as the high school Bible teacher. Their son, Christopher, is pursuing a degree in English education at Liberty University.

CSY is a prekindergarten through 12th grade college preparatory private Christian day school located at 907 Greenbriar Road, York. For more information, call 717-767-6842 or visit http://www.csyonline.com.
