Dominic Armano (@DominicArmano) is a proud educator, a loving husband and father, and a public school

advocate.

Dominic has an undergraduate degree in elementary education and graduate degrees in both

special education and school district leadership. He currently works as an assistant principal at

P.S. 84, Steinway Elementary School in New York.

Through his years as an assistant principal, Dominic has become passionate about social-

emotional learning and has had the opportunity to highlight and build upon ongoing programs

that help promote a positive culture for students, staff and the community. Dominic has started

several initiatives that promote respect and focus on bully prevention, intimidation and bias-

based harassment. As a result, his school was awarded the “Respect for All” award for the 2018-

2019 school year.

As an educator, he feels that every child deserves to have fun, feel excited to learn and is happy

to go to school. His main goal is to develop programs that encourage schools to educate children

through a social-emotional pathway that creates a healthy school climate. He believes that by

doing this, you strengthen the core of instruction and build a community of eager, enthusiastic

and passionate learners.

Dominic was appointed to the Board of Trustees for the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying

in 2018 and was inducted into the New York Academy of Public Education in 2019.

Dominic loves spending time with his family and closest friends. He currently lives on Long

Island with his wife Sara and their daughter, soon to be big sister, Maria.
