Santapogue School

I am honored to serve as the principal of this wonderful school, a role I have proudly held since 2017. My journey in the West Babylon School District began in 2000 as a 7th and 8th grade social studies teacher. I later served as the K–8 District Coordinator for Social Studies, then as the Assistant Principal at the Junior High School, before finding my dream role here at Santapogue.

At Santapogue, we take great pride in nurturing both the hearts and minds of our students. Our work in promoting social-emotional wellness has become a cornerstone of who we are. We embrace the belief that “There is only 1 you in this great big world”—a theme that reminds us to celebrate our differences and appreciate what makes each of us unique.

Every day, I am inspired by the dedication of our staff, the enthusiasm of our students, and the partnership of our families. Together, we strive to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where all children can thrive.

Outside of school, I cherish time spent with my husband, Michael, our son, Michael Rocco, and our daughter, Gabriella Love. I love to hike, bike, and spend as much time as possible at the beach with my family.

Thank you for visiting our page and for being a valued part of the Santapogue community!
