"Read for escape, read for adventure...when your imagination is stirred, it can lead you down paths you never dreamed you would travel." - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Welcome to The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, P.S. 66! We are a National Blue Ribbon School in the heart of Richmond Hill, Queens, serving a diverse community of students from 3-K to fifth grade. I’m excited to share that this is my seventeenth year at P.S. 66 and my eighth year as principal.

I’m proud to announce that P.S. 66 continues to excel, ranking within the top 5% of New York City Public Schools. In District 27, we have the highest overall proficiency in both Reading and Math for the 2023-2024 school year.

My goal is to provide all students with an inclusive and equitable learning environment that offers rigorous, standards-based instruction and state-of-the-art technology. I believe that the success of our students starts with the success of our teachers, which is why I ensure that all teachers have access to the best professional development opportunities. This allows them to use the most modern, research-based teaching practices in our classrooms.

Our mission at The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School is to challenge students to achieve their personal best and empower them to become productive and independent individuals. We believe in nurturing each child's gifts and talents as they journey through elementary school. The staff is committed to creating learning environments that promote academic rigor, innovative technology, and a sense of individuality to address the needs of our diverse learners. We are committed to partnering with the JKO families and the Richmond Hill community to maximize each student's potential.

P.S. 66 is committed to building a collegial community of high expectations and mutual trust. Collaboration at The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School is designed to establish a community of learners and learning through relationships, relevance, and rigor that cultivates a powerful IMPACT on achievement and success one student at a time. Strategic and innovative use of technology to build 21st Century Skills will prepare students to be competitive leaders in a diverse society. With an emphasis on literacy, computer science, and community outreach, we envision a community of resilient, self-directed learners who engage in meaningful interactions.
