Dr. Reynolds currently devotes each day to the betterment of scholarship and aids in the development of the leaders of tomorrow as the Senior Assistant Superintendent and Chief Human Resources Officer for the City School District of New Rochelle.  It is his belief that, “Education is not a profession, it’s a calling.  As an educator, one must take students’ minds beyond their perceived limitations and challenge them to a place of ever higher aspiration because perception, unchallenged, becomes reality.”
