U-City Staff Member Spotlight: Mr. Nicastro, Dean of Students


12 September 2011by Jag Times Staff Writer

With the start of a new school year our students are finding some familiar faces in new jobs around the school.  Our new Dean of Students is
Mr. Gennaro Nicastro. 

Mr. Nicastro was the STEM Academy Leader last year, and has been one of our brightest math teachers for the last four years.  He has a Bachelors
Degree in Mathematics and a Masters Degree in Secondary Education from Cabrini College. Mr. Nicastro’s new position calls for him to “Manage Discipline and School Safety” here at U-City.  In his own words, “ I am here to help the students when they are feeling stressed or overwhelmed.I want students to know that if they feel they are at their breaking point, please come see me.  I want the chance to diffuse a situation before it explodes.  I am not out to get you, and I want to help any way I can.”

Mr. Nicastro will be working closely with Academy Leaders, School Police, Administrators, and the rest of the staff here to help make the school a safer place to learn and grow for all of us.  His office is in room 108 next to Sergeant Skipworth.
Next time you see him in the hall, say hello!!
