LEVITTOWN, NY — Levittown native Dr. Beth Zirogiannis was named the school district's new assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction at the Board of Education meeting on May 4. She is taking over the role currently held by Todd Winch, who will be the next superintendent of schools.

“I could not be more excited to return to my hometown of Levittown,” Zirogiannis said. “The Levittown School District has an outstanding reputation, and I am humbled by this incredible opportunity to get to know everyone and continue the good work.”

In addition to her position as director, Zirogiannis was a teacher of English Language Arts at Oceanside Middle School and began her educational career as a teacher of English Language Arts and biology at J. Pulitzer Intermediate School in Jackson Heights. She received her doctorate at Concordia Lutheran University in Chicago, and holds a master’s degree in science and a master’s and bachelor’s degree in arts.
