Town Of Baylon Proclaims 'Daniel Giordano Day' After Retiring Superintendent

LINDENHURST, NY — The Town of Babylon is set to honor one Lindenhurst educator's career.

Lindenhurst Public Schools Superintendent Daniel Giordano, who retires at the end of June, will be recognized and proclaimed his own day, "Daniel Giordano Day", on June 24, the last day of the school year, officials announced.

According to a press release, Giordano served 24 years in the Lindenhurst Union Free School District.

He started in 1997, as an assistant principal at Lindenhurst High School. In 2002, he became the high school building principal and served in that role until 2014 when the Board of Education unanimously appointed him superintendent of schools.

As superintendent, he has overseen the implementation of significant advancements in the district that have consciously improved services and advanced the rates of student success, officials said.

“I cannot say enough about what an asset Mr. Giordano has been to our community,” said Supervisor Rich Schaffer. “Throughout his tenure, he has served as an excellent example not only teachers and administrators in the Lindenhurst School District, but too many in other school districts throughout our area. I know I speak for many when I say his guidance and leadership will be greatly missed.”

Councilman Anthony Manetta, a Lindenhurst high school graduate who was a student during Mr. Giordano’s tenure as assistant principal, presented the proclamation on behalf of the Town Board.

"The Town of Babylon wishes Mr. Giordano all the best in his retirement, and we thank him for his many years of service to the Lindenhurst community," a press release said.
