Dr. Roxanne Giampapa, our Director, came to Pinewood after completing her Ph.D. in Educational Policy & Leadership from The Ohio State University. The focus of her dissertation research, international education in the context of Greece and the European Union, gives her an ideal framework from which to approach curriculum and school operations at Pinewood. Dr. Giampapa’s background as a secondary teacher of history and English literature in the rigorous private, college-preparatory setting in the U.S. is beneficial in that she brings standards of teaching and learning for the Pinewood community of teachers and students that are exceptionally high, yet grounded in pragmatic implementation.
