After decades of six-month-long Chicago winters, Dana Tolomeo is thrilled to be in San Diego. A veteran educator, Tolomeo was recently named to a vacant vice principal position at Point Loma High School.
\nAfter earning an undergraduate and master\u2019s degree from University of Illinois (secondary education) and a master\u2019s degree (education administration) from Columbia University, Tolomeo spent\u00a016 years teaching English learners and Spanish.
\nOne of the schools where she taught, Oak Park and River Forest, is the alma mater of many well-known persons as diverse as Ernest Hemingway and Dan Castellaneta, the voice of TV’s Homer Simpson.
\nHer husband and two daughters are still in Illinois and will join her in July.
\n“The lifestyle here is so much more laid back and welcoming,” Tolomeo said. “I fell in love with Point Loma High School the first time I came here,\u00a0found out about it’s history and realized it was a good place for me.”
\nTolomeo has found PLHS to be “a great school, with lots of pride which I love. They have great teachers, the students are very involved in clubs and athletics. It’s just a wonderful school and I’m glad to be a part of it.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
