Mr. Michael A. Azzolino . .. Farewell! Mr. Michael A. Azzolino Vice-Principal House I Mr. Michael A. Azzolino started his teaching career in Lodi, New Jersey and then went on to the Elmwood Park School System before making Paramus High his educational home. He served as a member of the Guidance Department and then went on to become a vice-principal. As vice-principal of House 1, Mr. Azzolino has had the awesome responsibility of developing a master schedule which would best meet the needs of both the students and the staff. His diligence and devotion have kept him working numerous hours above and beyond the normal day in order to achieve these goals. Aside from this monumental task he has carried on the duties of meeting with students, parents, and staff to solve daily problems, co-ordinating the standardized testing program, providing coverage for classes when teachers are absent, scheduling buses for field trips, compiling state reports and all the other various duties which come across a busy vice-principal ' s desk. Perhaps his greatest pleasure has been derived from being directly involved with the students. His student-centered philosophy has given students a positive attitude toward school. He is known for his fairness in seeing all sides of an issue. The fact that Mr. Azzolino ' s career has been productive should come as no surprise. He was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate from Fairleigh Dickinson University and went on to receive an M.A. from Montclair State College. He has also done graduate work at Paterson State College and Yeshiva University. He is an active, caring citizen as is evident by his activities. He has been involved with the Paramus Juvenile court, is a member of the V.F.W., and is an officer of the South Bergen Federal Credit Union. His dedication to education was recognized in 1982 by the Paramus Jaycees when he was named Educator of the Year. Although Mr. Azzolino is retiring from education, the many valuable contributions he has made will remain with us. We wish him all the best for a new beginning. We know that he is looking forward to spending time with his wife, children, and grand children and on projects and activities which his busy schedule has not permitted. He shall always be remembered as an altruistic, caring person — a true humanitarian who dedicated his life to education.
