As the 2018-19 school year comes to an end, we reflect on the contributions students and staff made to the Stamford High School Community. Stamford High School is a family in which each individual has their own immense impact on our Black Knight community. Stamford High fosters some teachers who mentored the current teachers at Stamford High now. This cultivates a generation of teachers at Stamford High who have left a mark on our school who are sadly leaving us after this year. Some of these influential teachers are Art Department Head Paul Cusano, World Language Teacher Maria Cahill, Music Teacher Gloria Sinaguglia and Science Teacher Carmela Vavrinec.

When describing Cusano, the traits “hardworking” and “passionate” are understatements. Cusano started his career working for Stamford Public Schools 39 years ago and became a member of the Black Knight family 27 years ago. Over the years he has taught a variety of classes. Some of them include all levels of Drawing and Painting, Sculpture, Photography and even Bird Carving.
