Malverne High School

At the Sept. 9 meeting, the Malverne Union Free School District proudly honored a group of exceptional educators as they achieved tenure, one of the most significant milestones in an educator’s career. Recognizing tenure as both a celebration and a pledge of long-term commitment, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Maria Rianna and the Board of Education commended the honorees for their dedication, high standards and daily support of students across the district’s schools.

Faculty granted tenure include Maurice W. Downing Primary School teachers Christine Brown, Katherine Remy, Emily DeFranco and Danielle Ballard; Davison Avenue Intermediate School teachers Jennifer Guismondi, Alissa Seiter and Amanda Watkins-Lopez; Howard T. Herber Middle School English teacher Stephanie Acierno; and Malverne High School teacher assistant Christine Carulli.

“Earning tenure in the Malverne School District is a tremendous accomplishment – it’s a validation of your work ethic, your genuine care and your commitment to our students,” said Dr. Rianna. “Tenure represents a promise to Malverne that you will be committed and supportive to every child who walks through our doors. Our children deserve the best and the brightest to ignite their brilliance and help change their tomorrows. We are proud to have each of you in the Malverne family.”

The district congratulates all of its newly tenured faculty and looks forward to their continued impact on Malverne students for years to come.
