Mr. Vitale named Nassau County Middle School Teacher of the Year

Congratulations to Mr. Vitale on being named the Nassau County Middle School Mathematics Teacher of the Year! This distinction has been bestowed upon him by the Nassau County Mathematics Teachers Association. Mr. Vitale's talents have long been recognized within the Plainedge School District by students, parents, fellow teachers and administrators and this county-wide honor confirms what we have known and witnessed over his many years of service.

Mr. Vitale will be honored at a county-wide dinner and ceremony on May 16th.
