Mr. Giordano
Mr. Giordano graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with a BA in criminal justice and sociology in 1997 and an MA in criminal justice in 1998. Mr. Giordano was admitted to Albany under the talented student athlete program where he was the captain of the Division I-AA football team and voted one of the teams most valuable players as a senior. After graduating from Albany in 1998, Mr. Giordano moved to Miami, Florida in search of warmer weather.
In Florida, Mr. Giordano began working with homeless and runaway teenagers at Covenant House Fort Lauderdale. As a Community Services Specialist, Mr. Giordano's responsibilities included managing a community center that housed a pantry, a soup kitchen, a housing program, an employment assistance program, and a community school.
After four years at Covenant House, Mr. Giordano began working as a school counselor at Monsignor Edward Pace High School in MIami, an extremely diverse school with a predominantly Cuban-American student and faculty. In fact, a large majority of the students at Monsignor Pace were either first or second generation Cuban-Americans who were the descendants of Cuban Refugees. While serving as a school counselor/football coach/hockey coach/basketball coach, Mr. Giordano decided to seek certification in school counseling.
Mr. Giordano found that the Public University System of Alabama offered a distance learning program in school counseling through the University of West Alabama. Two years later James received his M.Ed. in School counseling.
After eight years in Florida, Mr. Giordano and his wife decided to move back to New York to begin raising a family. Mr. Giordano immediately began his first of five years as the Director of College Guidance at Saint Agnes Boys High School on West 87th Street in Manhattan. While at Saint Agnes, Mr. Giordano decided to return to the University of West Alabama through a distance learning program to pursue his Ed.S. degree and New York State Certification in School Counseling. Two years later, James has achieved both goals.
After five wonderful years at Saint Agnes Boys High School, Mr. Giordano has decided to continue his work as a college counselor through the Community of Unity at TAPCo (Theatre Arts Production Company School) in the Bronx. Mr. Giordano now holds the position of Director of College and Career Development for these organizations. Mr. Giordano is extremely excited about this new opportunity and is looking forward to meeting with the students of TAPCo.
Mr. Giordano now resides in Long Island with his wife and two children, Ella and Lucas.
