Dr. D’Errico is working diligently to support staff and students to ensure they are continuously growing and developing.

“I plan to continue providing a wide-range of opportunities for students to achieve their goals and aspirations, through both instruction and extra-curricular activities.”

His goal is for students to explore their passions and interests, while simultaneously developing the skills necessary to successfully pursue their post-secondary goals following graduation.

Welcome to the family, Dr. D’Errico!
