The district has hired Christine Gill as the new curriculum associate for mathematics and business.

Gill was previously employed as a high school math teacher and math curriculum liaison in the Southampton School District, and prior to that as a high school math teacher in the New York City Department of Education in Brooklyn.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in mathematics and master’s degree in secondary education from the University of Scranton, and school building and district leadership certificates from the College of Saint Rose.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be in the position of curriculum associate for math and business,” said the Massapequa resident. “The students and staff of Deer Park display a great passion for education and I am elated to be part of such a wonderful community. My goal is to enhance the already present success of the district through a rigorous program for mathematics and business that requires critical thinking for a deep understanding.”
