Hello, My name is Dr. Pacinello and I am excited to join the team at Sts. Philip and James School, teaching 7th and 8th grade ELA and Social Studies.  I have over 20 years of teaching experience, in both elementary grades and as the Media Coordinator for St. Patrick School.  I have worked with the Education Department of the Diocese of Rockville Centre as part of their Morningstar Initiative Team, as a curriculum lead teacher.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Italian Studies with a minor in Business Administration from Stony Brook University, and a Master's Degree in Education from C.W. Post L I University. I attended the Administrative Program at Stony Brook University's School of Professional Development. I have recently completed the St. John's University Doctoral program in the School of Education for Administration and Supervision.  My degree, Doctor of Education in Administrative and Instructional Leadership was conferred in January 2018.

My creative outlets include a love of crocheting & knitting, baking and I am a big “Book Nerd”.  I look forward to sharing my love of these with my students and colleagues!
