The City School District of Albany Board of Education approved the appointment of Thomas O'Brien Academy of Science and Technology Assistant Principal Meghan D’Alessandro as the next principal at Pine Hills Elementary School at its meeting Wednesday.
A former sixth-grade ELA teacher at William S. Hackett Middle School, D’Alessandro has been the assistant principal at TOAST since 2021. In that role, she has been part of a building-wide effort that has seen strong gains in student achievement since returning from the pandemic.
D’Alessandro will begin in her new role Jan. 1.
“I am excited for this new opportunity and looking forward to joining the Pine Hills community,” D’Alessandro. “Pine Hills is a tigh-knit community and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
TOAST will begin a search for a new assistant principal immediately. We will update you on that process later in the fall.
