2018 Bay Educator of the Year
Neil Marcaccio
Principal, Meadowbrook Elementary School
Neil Marcaccio, principal of Meadowbrook Elementary School in East Greenwich, is a passionate educator, scientist and steward of Narragansett Bay.
As a principal, Marcaccio has worked to connect his entire school community with Save The Bay’s education team, allowing his students to see and experience the Bay both on the water and at Save The Bay’s Exploration Center in Newport.
These trips are made possible by the principal’s tireless administrative work, but Marcaccio sees his students’ education as more than just an executive responsibility; he has elected to attend nearly all of his students’ field experiences personally, a testament to his character and dedication to environmental education.
