Chatham Central Schools welcomes Columbia County Sheriff's Deputy Joe Occhibove (pronounced Ock-i-bow) as our new school resource deputy (SRD). Deputy Occhibove is specially trained to work in schools and will be on campus throughout the school day, starting with our first day of classes. We are pleased to continue to partner with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office to have an SRD here five days a week to help us keep our school a safe and welcoming environment. Please join us in welcoming him to Chatham!
