Rabbi Max Gelb, the school's founder, guided the school with his wife, founding principal Leah Gelb. By the end of the 1970s, enrollment reached 150 and the kindergarten was housed in a converted home adjacent to the main building.[2] It is named after Solomon Schechter, who founded the United Synagogue of America and was the architect of the American Conservative Jewish movement. Expansion in White PlainsIn 1979, with financial support from M. Mac Schwebel and others, the school leased the {{convert|25|acre|m2|adj=on}} Rosedale Elementary School campus on Dellwood Road in White Plains, and two years later purchased the campus. In 1980, Rabbi Gelb and Mrs. Gelb stepped down, and Dr. Elliot Spiegel was appointed headmaster. It was Dr. Spiegel who charted the school's future course, introducing innovative education programs and transforming Schechter Westchester into a premier conservative Jewish day school. In 1989, with support from Joseph S. Gruss, a fourth building was constructed on the White Plains campus to help accommodate the demands of Westchester's largest Jewish day school.[3] Name Change From Solomon Schechter School Of Westchester to The Leffell SchoolOn March 6, 2019 (29 Adar I 5779) it was announced that as of July 1st 2019, the school‘s name of Solomon Schechter School of Westchester would be changing to The Leffell School, in honor of the Leffells.{{cn|date=April 2019}} AthleticsSchechter Westchester participates in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.
