Known for his effective teaching while in the Navy, Mr. Jannuzzi’s favorite subject to teach is math. He teaches his students about teamwork, the importance of rules, and sportsmanship. He feels it is important to provide the necessary preparation for our students so that they are building their own toolbox for life.

Mr. Jannuzzi entered the Navy right out of high school, having served one year in the reserves before his senior year. His specialty was survival operations and aviation/quality assurance, and he also served as a safety technician. He was out to sea for up to 180 days at a time. He lifted weights religiously for 17 years.

Mr. Jannuzzi had a rough childhood, living in big cities that were not safe. Believing that better schooling would have helped him be more prepared for life, Mr. Jannuzzi admits he wouldn’t change a thing. He credits a guidance counselor in high school for encouraging him to enter into the science fair, and his interest in water led him to enlist in the Navy. He humbly received many awards and recognition while serving for 21 years!

His wish for his students is for them to listen to those who have been through life, and for them to know we are on their team. He wants them to see and prepare for the future, and wants them to be successful in every way.

We are so fortunate that Mr. Jannuzzi is spending his Navy retirement as a teacher. He is positively affecting the lives of our youth, and is an inspiring role model for us all.
