Meet Prof. DiPrizio!

Salve!

My name is Maria DiPrizio and I have been teaching at Stratford Middle School since 2017. I graduated from DePaul University and I am currently completing my Masters at Concordia University Chicago. I was a former head dance coach for 6 years at DePaul University. GO BLUE DEMONS!

 My family is originally from the Southern Italian region of Puglia. I enjoy travelling to Italy every summer to visit my family, explore more about the beautiful country and of course, eat delicious Italian food! I am looking forward to a great school year! 

Here is a little bit more about me: 

• I grew up as a competitive dancer.

• I have one older brother and two younger sisters. My brother, Giuseppe, is an electrical engineer. My younger sister, Angelica, is a Doctor in Pharmacy at the Jesse Brown VA Hospital, and my youngest sister, Sabrina, is a financial consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers. 

• My favorite color is lime green.

• I need to have my espresso every morning!

• I love to travel and see my family in Italy. 

• My favorite food is pizza. 

• I teach itty bitty babies dance on Saturday mornings at Center Stage Dance Studio located in Bloomingdale, IL.
