Four Present V-I-P’s Vice-Principal in charge of curriculum and co-curricular activities, Adele Stern, is responsible for many of the school’s most essential services. This year, in addition to her other duties, she also holds the position of Acting Principal. As permanent executive secretary to the Curriculum Council, director of the Writing Lab and Early Childhood Center, Mrs. Stern continues to be actively involved in the schools operation. Our school’s humanities course, along with the Careers in the Arts and CITA programs owe their implementation to the hard work and dedication of Mrs. Stern. Even though she is kept busy by her many demanding responsibilities, Mrs. Stern finds time to help both students and staff members who seek advice on the many different aspects of school life. Thus it can be seen that Mrs. Stern is certainly one of the key builders of this school’s academic and social structures. Michael A. Azzolino Adele H. Stern Acting Principal Curriculum Coordinator Mr. Michael Azzolino, our Vice-Principal in charge of House I, performs various duties throughout the school day, some of which include teacher obser¬ vations, administration of tests, transportation and field trip arrangements, and dealing with individual student problems. Through his many years of outstand¬ ing service, he has developed considerable insight into the varied aspects of education. Recently, he observed with pride that students are getting more and more interested in academics, and there is less of a need for student discipline. He attributes this to a rise in the maturity level of young people, who have begun to demand excellence in education. Mr. Azzolino has certainly provided more than his share of this requested superiority. Vice-Principal House 1 Mr. Patrick Cappucci, the Vice-Principal in charge of House II, has many responsibilities. Each of the house principals has special duties. Mr. Cappucci’s duties are handling the budget, school planning, and the special education programs. Mr. Cappucci oversees the development and implementation of the school budget, handles the purchasing and accounting for all of the school supplies and equipment, and arranges the financing of the clubs and teams. He is essentially responsible for the financing of the school. His responsibility for school plan¬ ning includes school insurance, the lunch program, parking, the athletic pro¬ grams, all work orders, and the repair of the building. Mr. Cappucci spends the better part of his day dealing directly with the students. He works with the special education students and supervises the special education program. As house principal, he is responsible for all the students associated with House II, and spends a great deal of time dealing with and resolving student problems. Patrick Cappucci Vice-Principal House II Organizing and enforcing the attendance policy is the responsibility of Mr. Thomas J. Verga, Vice-Principal of House III. His diligence has resulted in substantially improving the attendance at Paramus High School. In addition, Mr. Verga coordinates special programs throughout the year, including the annual commencement exercises. Mr. Verga completes all these tasks with a personal touch of initiative and success. Thomas J. Verga Vice-Principal House III
