“Uncle Bill. “ That is the perfect moniker for Bill Alberino.  He is, undoubtedly, the avuncular, good-natured, quick-witted colleague we all know and love…and bribe constantly with chocolate!  Bill has achieved iconic status at Daniel Hand High School not because of his remarkable tenure as an educator, but because of his infectious laughter, the undeniable bond he shares with students, and the obvious dedication he has to the art and science of teaching English. 

One of Bill’s most impressive and long lasting professional feats saw him resurrect Daniel Hand High School’s beloved drama class.  This has benefitted countless students and has enriched and diversified the Language Arts curriculum considerably. 

Bill’s role as facilitator of the Sunshine organization has fostered solidarity and altruism among the faculty at Daniel Hand High School.  The time, sensitivity, and attention put into this endeavor are immeasurable.  

Bill has been a mentor to his fellow teachers and a constant source of inspiration for his students.  The stories of his pranks, his laughing fits, and his teaching will outlive us all.  He is loved and respected and will be greatly missed.
