Carucci is currently assistant principal at Tuckahoe Middle School and High School in Eastchester. He previously served as assistant principal and director of curriculum and instruction at the Anne Hutchinson Academy for Engineering, Herbert Lehman High School in the Bronx. He also served at that school for five years as assistant principal in the Department of Foreign Languages/ESL & Director of the Performing and Visual Arts Small Learning Community.
“Throughout the interview process, Mr. Carucci quickly surfaced as our match,” Superintendent of Education Diana Bowers said in a letter to the community on May 18. “His child-centered approach to learning and breadth of experience will serve our students well.”
Carucci was one of three finalists from among more than 50 candidates who applied to lead the education team at Haldane High School.
I am happy to hear this. Welcome Peter Carucci, you sound eminently qualified.
Mr. Carucci was my supervisor, and this is a very talented educator.
