Testimonials

My passion, excitement, and enthusiasm for teaching in my hometown school in the Central Islip School District began when I was a student sitting before the very teachers who helped pave my path to success.  My experience working here has been fulfilling and rewarding as I have witnessed my Central Islip students grow both academically and personally as they set goals, discover their passions, and achieve success in part because of the unwavering dedication of the educational community.   The most impressive aspect of our district is the diversity and the inclusion that the administrators, teachers, and support staff ensure for all students.  I’m proud to teach here and help guide our students to reach their full potential.

As a student Central Islip taught me the academics we need to succeed in our futures, alongside the important role that diversity plays in our world.   These values are upheld by the community as a whole… including teachers, coaches and classmates.  Coming back as a Central Islip teacher, I now have the pleasure of being here each day to instill those same strengths and values to today’s students.
