Oceanside teacher named Nassau County Math Teacher of the Year
Alexandra Vollaro of Oceanside High School is the Nassau County Math Teachers Association’s 2024 High School Math Teacher of the Year.
She was nominated by Oceanside School District’s Director of Mathematics, Tara Mauer. In her nomination letter to the organization, Mauer cited Vollaro’s mastery in the classroom and ability to teach a variety of subjects under the mathematics umbrella, including algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, AP computer science principles, math research, and college statistics. Mauer also credited Vollaro’s interactive and engaging teaching style, use of technology, and leadership in the classroom and school community.
Vollaro was celebrated at the annual NCMTA spring reception and will be recognized by the Oceanside Board of Education at its June meeting. In 2022, Rocio Saborido, also an Oceanside High School math teacher, was named the NCMTA High School Teacher of the Year.
