| The Campus School of Carlow University Names New Executive Director |
| |
Michele A. Peduto, Former St. Agnes School Principal, Is New Head of Campus School
Pittsburgh, Pa.- Michelle A. Peduto has been named the new Executive Director and Head of The Campus School of Carlow University.
Ms. Peduto had been serving as Interim Executive Director and Head of The Campus School since August. In December, a search committee headed by Margaret K. McLaughlin, PhD, the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs at Carlow University, was formed to identify a qualified candidate for the position.
"The candidate pool was extremely diverse and the committee thoroughly vetted a number of high qualified applicants," said Dr. McLaughlin. "It became clear to the committee that, among steep competition, she is the ideal person to serve the school in this capacity."
Until accepting the interim position at the Campus School, Peduto was working as the curriculum and instruction consultant for the Extra Mile Foundation, and as an adjunct faculty member in the School of Education at Carlow. Prior to that, she was the principal at St. Agnes Elementary School in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. She received a master's degree in School Administration from Duquesne University; a master's degree in Cultural Foundations of Education from the University of Texas; and her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the College of New Jersey. She is certified as a principal and teacher in Pennsylvania and as a teacher in New Jersey. Ms. Peduto has previously worked as an elementary school teacher in North Carolina, Texas, and New Jersey.
Since August, Peduto has been successfully organizing and administering an education program for the Campus School; observing and evaluating administrators, teachers, and staff; monitoring safety and maintenance; expressing a clear vision; facilitating collaborative relationships between the University, the School of Education, the Campus School, parents, students, and the community; overseeing and developing the fiscal budget, participating in long range strategic planning; and overseeing the work study and academic experiences of University students assigned to the Campus School.
"I am excited to be named the Executive Director and Head of the Campus School," Peduto said. "I look forward to continuing the initiatives we've begun this year, and look forward to the future with enthusiasm."
