School Board Makes Noce and Stein Assistant Principals
The Huntington School Board has made longtime Huntington High School administrative assistants Angelo G. Noce and Jarrett P. Stein assistant principals and granted the pair tenure in the new titles, effective July 1. Trustees took the action during their first meeting of the new school year.
“Although I didn’t have the title, I always felt that I was doing the job of an assistant principal,” Mr. Noce said following his appointment. “It is very nice of them to do this.” Mr. Noce had been an administrative assistant at the high school since 1991 and Mr. Stein was in his post since 2000.
Before becoming an administrative assistant, Mr. Noce was chairman of the physical education department in Huntington and a teacher. He began his career in the New York City schools, where he served in a number of roles including school neighborhood worker, attendance and family assistant, student organization, mini-school and grade level advisor, coordinator of student affairs, teacher of physical education, swimming and health, dean of boys and acting assistant principal for physical and health education.
Mr. Noce graduated from the City University of New York – Queens College in 1974 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education. He obtained a Master of Arts degree in health education at Adelphi University in 1975 and received his administrative certification at New York University.
In addition to his teaching and administrative career, Mr. Noce has also held a number of coaching positions through the years. At Grover Cleveland High School he coached varsity baseball, boys’ and girls’ swimming and junior varsity track and field. He also served as the head women’s softball coach at Fort Hamilton High School and was a student varsity assistant baseball coach at Queens College.
Before he joined the Huntington faculty, Mr. Stein worked as an administrative assistant in the Hicksville school district, as a school psychologist in the Massapequa and Sachem school districts and in the BOCES system, as a teacher assistant in Massapequa, Commack, Half Hollow Hills and BOCES and as a group leader and director of several summer camps.
Mr. Stein earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University and obtained a Master of Science degree in school psychology at Long Island University in Brooklyn in 1996. He earned his administrative certification at Dowling College.
A contributing writer to the book, The Circle of Character and Conduct, Mr. Stein won the New Jersey Pitcher of the Year Award and earned a New Jersey Metropolitan Athletic Award. He completed his school psychologist practicum in Massapequa.
Following the action by trustees, Huntington Principal Carmela Leonardi expressed her support for the new titles for Mr. Noce and Mr. Stein, saying the pair does “a wonderful job” at the school.
