MAMMA FRANCESCA ON THE SOUND  Check out the views on the rear enclosed deck and view random fireworks. When Nick DiCostanzo was growing up on the Island of Ischia on the Coast of Naples in Italy, his earliest memories where of the simple seaside meals he would enjoy with his family, farm-to-table and of course sea-to-table. As proprietor of Mamma Francesca in New Rochelle for nearly 40 years, located on the banks of Long Island Sound with 6-story views of the ‘Queen City’s’ seafaring boat clubs, this culinary philosophy still holds true.

Mount St. Michael Names New School Principal

BRONX - Mount St. Michael Academy will have a new principal starting July 1st. School President, Bro. Michael Flanigan, FMS has appointed Ms. Clare Brewster as the school's next principal.


 

Ms. Brewster brings to her position a wealth of experience, knowledge, and dedication to the mission and ministry of the Marist Brothers, who govern The Mount. Ms. Brewster is a graduate of the College of Holy Cross and received her Master’s degree from Fordham University. She is a product of Catholic schools.


 

Commenting on her appointment as principal, Ms. Brewster stated, “I look forward to continuing The Mount’s history of excellence in the Marist tradition, holding each of our students and faculty to high standards, and to providing our young men with an excellent education. I also look forward to collaborating with all of our families so that each of our students will thrive.”


 

She began her teaching career at St. Agnes Boys’ High School in Manhattan, another Marist Brothers’ school, and eventually assumed the position of Assistant Principal of Academics at St. Agnes. When St. Agnes closed, she wished to continue teaching at a Marist school and joined the faculty at The Mount as an English and Social Studies teacher. For the past 10 years, Ms. Brewster has served as Assistant Principal of Academics.


 

“Clare brings a wealth of knowledge which will assist in her new position, but as important as her experience is, so is her dedication and knowledge of the Marist Brothers’ mission. In her 24 years of dedication to Marist Education, both at St. Agnes Boys H.S. and at The Mount, her rapport with the Brothers and desire to further their mission, which she sees as her vocation, will ensure that the Marist charism will continue to guide our school. Her experience in an urban all-boys’ school makes her the obvious choice. As President, I very much look forward to working closely with her,” Bro. Michael said.

 

Ms. Brewster will succeed Bro. Steve Schlitte, who has served as Principal at the school since 2010. Ms. Brewster will be the first female Principal in the school’s almost 100-year history.
