Nineteen staffers in all have announced that they will retire thus far, including some very popular teachers and administrators . Departing from Scarsdale High School are Ann Liptak - who chairs the English Department, veteran math teacher Roger Capucci, Beth Schoenbrun who handles the science research program, Larry Brown, Tom Conrad, Paul Sheehy, Ihor Szkolar, Sandra Cisco and Assistant Principal Sue Peppers.
