our amazing high school team

 Hi, I’m Kristy Spinuzzi and I’ve been teaching for 22 years! I enjoy visiting amusement parks and the zoo, spending time with my family, reading, watching soccer, and running. 

I have a maltipoo named Halo, but we call her Foofy! I absolutely adore her, and I would probably have 10 dogs if my husband wouldn’t divorce me!  

I am passionate about teaching and empowering our youth to become the best they can be. Let's make it a great year! 

 Hey, my name is Claire and I’m grateful to join The Academy HS team as our high school’s coordinator and teacher.

I’m from New York and absolutely love to travel, cook, learn about history, and spend time on walks with my dog Peanut!

As a sibling to a brother severely affected by autism, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be when teaching is tailored to a student’s strengths. This has fueled my commitment to helping students thrive through personalized, student-centered teaching.

I believe learning should feel meaningful, stimulating, and most importantly, lots of fun.I’m truly excited to be part of this community, looking forward to growing and learning together!
