Lindenhurst High School Welcomes New Principal

The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is proud to name Dr. Matthew Boccanfuso as the new Principal of Lindenhurst High School. He replaces Dr. Candice Brodie, who is now Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources at the Cold Spring Harbor School District. Dr. Boccanfuso previously served as Assistant Principal at the high school.

Dr. Boccanfuso has spent his entire 23-year professional career in education at Lindenhurst High School, and he seeks to continue partnerships with parents, administrators, and Lindenhurst Middle School to provide a robust education and prepare students for life after graduation. “We are excited and deeply committed to sharing our vision for the school as we prepare our students for the future workforce,” he said. “In a constantly changing world, we are dedicated to equipping our students with the skills, knowledge, and mindset they need to succeed in their future endeavors.”

Since 2002, Dr. Boccanfuso has served in a variety of roles at Lindenhurst High School, including social studies teacher, alternative school teacher, and peer leadership instructor. In 2014, he became Assistant Principal at the school, a position he has held until now.

“As a lifelong Bulldog, Lindenhurst High School holds a special place in my heart,” Dr. Boccanfuso said. “I feel honored and privileged to ‘pay it forward’ to the community that made me the man I am today.”
