My name is Nicole Draghi, and I am excited to join the PS/IS 116 community as the Interim Acting Assistant Principal. After twelve years serving the PS/IS 270 community, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting students, families, and educators within District 29. I believe students thrive when they are surrounded by strong relationships, high expectations, and a supportive school community. As an administrator, I value respect and trust as the foundation for learning and believe that strong partnerships among schools, families, and the community help students grow, persevere, and succeed. I look forward to building meaningful relationships and working collaboratively with the PS/IS 116 community to create a positive, inclusive, and student-centered environment where every student can thrive.
