Lindenhurst Middle School Welcomes a New Principal

The Lindenhurst Union Free School District is proud to name Marcy Miller as the Principal of Lindenhurst Middle School. She replaces Frank Naccarato, who retired. Miller previously served as Principal of Albany Avenue Elementary School.

Miller aims to continue partnerships with Lindenhurst High School and maintain a nurturing environment for students as they navigate the transitional years from elementary school to high school. “Middle school is such an important period because not only are our students physically growing and changing, but they are also actively taking in so much both in and out of school,” Miller said. “What is pivotal as middle school educators is that we meet them where they are, acknowledging that they are still kids in many ways while providing opportunities for learning that extend, at times, beyond academics.”

Miller began her career in education as a classroom teacher at P.S. 232 in Howard Beach in 1991, but she has spent the majority of her career in the Lindenhurst School District. In 2002, she worked as a secondary reading teacher at Lindenhurst Middle School before becoming an elementary reading specialist and administrative intern at William Rall Elementary School. In 2014, Miller returned to the Middle School to become Interim Dean of Discipline and then Assistant Principal in 2015. In 2016, Miller took the reins of Albany Avenue Elementary School as Principal.

“I'm so excited to lead the Middle School; it's almost like coming home for me,” she said. “Working in lockstep with our new High School Principal and my amazing team here, I plan to make the Lindenhurst Middle School experience a positive, caring, and supportive one for our students, enabling a seamless transition to high school.”
