Nora Zerante will move from a teacher to assistant principal at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights for the 2024-25 school year.
The 2011 graduate has been on staff the past eight years serving as an English teacher and English Department chairperson. She also coaches varsity softball.
Zerante will be working with newly appointed principal Joe Zampillo who takes the leadership role in the 2024-25 school year. Together they pledge to work following the school’s tradition of academic excellence, spiritual development and community engagement.
“It is an honor and privilege to serve Marian Catholic as assistant principal alongside Dr. Joe Zampillo,” Zerante said. “The Dominican pillars of study, prayers, preaching and community are the foundational values that built my personal educational and leadership philosophy.
“In my time as student, teacher and coach at Marian Catholic, I have learned that building community and relationships are essential in our success, and nurturing relationships will be at the heart of the work I do with our students, faculty and staff, parents and families and alumni,” Zerante said.
