This year, Cariddi stood out for his unwavering dedication to student success, his ability to inspire his colleagues, and his commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive school environment.

Cariddi will be formally recognized for this outstanding achievement at the CAS Delegate Assembly, taking place on Wednesday, April 2, at the Mezza Luna Restaurant in Hauppauge.
