Faculty & Staff

Dr. Jeremy Drake

Head of School/CEO

Dr. Jeremy Drake joined Christian School of York in the summer of 2025 as the CEO and Head of School. Dr. Drake graduated as valedictorian from Nyack College with a BA in Psychology and earned his MDiv from Alliance Theological Seminary. His career began in pastoral ministry, but the Lord subsequently moved him into education, where he taught secondary mathematics in the Bronx and the Poconos. His family moved to York in 2013 as he returned to pastoral ministry. During his teaching and ministry career, Dr. Drake completed an MS in Secondary Education Mathematics from Lehman College and an MS in Educational Administration from Scranton University. Most recently, he earned his DMin in Theology and Apologetics from Liberty University.

Dr. Drake's wife, Jennifer, is also employed as a Bible teacher at CSY. They have a son in college (studying English education), a daughter in high school (at CSY), and a little dog named Chewie (short for Chewbacca). He enjoys sports, reading, and music (you might see him playing the trumpet in our community band). The Drakes attend Church of the Open Door here in York.

2 Timothy 4:7 is a guiding verse for Dr. Drake. He looks forward to the day when he can claim it in full: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing."
