MAHOPAC- Mahopac Middle School Principal Tom Cozzocrea will be wearing a new hat when children return to class next month as the district’s Executive Director of Technology and Mahopac Falls School Operations.

Cozzocrea, a Carmel High School graduate, served for the past nine years at the helm of the middle school.  His new role also includes oversight of the district’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten program.

Anthony Muia, the middle school’s Assistant Principal, will succeed Cozzocrea as Principal after his appointment at a special meeting of the Mahopac Board of Education. 

Mahopac’s recently appointed Superintendent Vincent DiGrandi was pleased with the board’s decision.

“Tom has a unique ability to bring people together, improve systems and keep student success at the center of every decision.  As we continue building on Mahopac’s tradition of excellence, I know Tom’s leadership will strengthen the work happening across our schools,” he said.

Cozzocrea was appreciative of the opportunity: “The relationships I’ve built with our students, staff and families over the past nine years have been the most rewarding part of my career.  I am excited to support every school in the district while helping ensure our students have outstanding learning environments and access to the technology and resources that will prepare them for the future,” he said.
