The North Bellmore School District announces the appointment of Dr. Michael Yannucci as the new principal of Martin Avenue Elementary School, effective July 1. He brings more than 15 years of experience as an elementary administrator and teacher and has a strong background in early childhood literacy.
Dr. Yannucci comes to North Bellmore from the Massapequa School District, where he served as an elementary school principal. Prior to that, he was an assistant principal in the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District. He began his career in education as an elementary reading teacher.
“I’m excited about the opportunity join the Martin Avenue family, to work in a school that shares my values and collaborate with staff and students,” he said. “There was a sense of family from the beginning. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming.”
Dr. Yannucci holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from SUNY Oneonta, a master’s degree in childhood education and literacy from C.W. Post, an advanced certificate in educational administration from the College of St. Rose and a doctorate in educational administration, leadership and technology from Dowling College. He is an active member of the Nassau County Principals Association and LIASCD.
Reflecting his belief in a strong foundation for children, he also teaches early childhood classes at the College of Mount St. Vincent on topics such as literacy assessment, literacy for the young learner and integrating play into learning.
“Dr. Yannucci brings a wealth of instructional knowledge, talent and enthusiasm to this position,” Superintendent Marie Testa said. “He truly values a collaborative approach, where students, families, faculty and staff work together to create a safe, supportive and engaging learning environment. He will work diligently to build upon the tradition of excellence at Martin Avenue School.”
