Born and raised in Huntington, Leigh Candalino longed for more excitement from this world.   Steeped in the mythology of The X-Files and Harry Potter, she has received a Bachelors degree in the Dark Arts of Mathematics and Monsters of the Week from St. Joseph's College as well as a Masters degree in Educational Technology (for non-wizards) and the Black Oil from Teachers College, Columbia University.  After teaching for the last several years at an Azkaban satellite campus in Brooklyn, Ms. Candalino is excited to teach Math at Herricks High to Muggles and Wizards alike.

I am here to help you be successful, especially in math.  I promise to do my best to help each and every student to understand and practice mathematics.  You can do your part by attending extra help on Wednesdays in Room 416.
