Principal

I am very excited to serve our community as the proud principal of DeGrazia Elementary School.  Having served as the associate principal here for the past 10 years, I have been fortunate to work closely with our incredible students, staff, and families. I am honored to continue serving this wonderful community in this new role.

Over the past decade, I have come to deeply value the strong relationships and partnerships that define our school. These connections are at the heart of what makes DeGrazia such a special place. I am committed to continuing to foster a welcoming environment where every student feels safe, supported, and valued.

I am also proud to say that my connection to DeGrazia is personal. My wife and I have two children who both attended DeGrazia for all seven years of their elementary education. As a family, we’ve experienced firsthand the care, dedication, and sense of community that make this school so exceptional.

As principal, my focus will remain on ensuring a school culture that prioritizes student well-being, academic growth, and positive social development. Together, we will continue to build on our strong foundation and move forward guided by our shared vision and mission: Love, Learn, Lead. These three words represent our commitment to building a caring community, nurturing a love of learning, and inspiring students to become compassionate and capable leaders.

I look forward to continuing to build meaningful relationships with all of you and working together to make this a fantastic school year. If there’s anything I can do to support you and your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
