Hello!  My name is Mr. Coppola!  I am very excited to be your new Jr/Sr. High School Principal.  I started officially August 2nd and have had the pleasure of overlapping your current principal Ms. Marcolina for two weeks.  During this transition period I have been absorbing a lot of information.  She has provided tremendous guidance for me to get up to speed for a great start to the year.

I am starting my 28th year in public education.  I was previously a Physical Education Teacher, Assistant Principal, Middle School Principal, High School Principal, and a K-12 Director of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics.  I also have a bus driver’s license as I helped transport students last year during the COVID pandemic due to a shortage of drivers at times.  I love education and working with students, staff, and the communities I have had the pleasure to work with in the school districts I was in previously.  I am looking forward to forging those same types of relationships here at Marathon. 

I graduated from Central Square High School and played three sports.  I graduated from St. Lawrence University with my Bachelor’s of Science and Masters degrees.  I then went on to obtain my Certification of Advanced Study in Educational Administration from SUNY Oswego.  I have four children and have been married to my wife for 19 years!  I am very involved with my family and look forward to introducing them to Marathon.  

I hope we all have a great start to the 2022-23 school year and I look forward to meeting you all!

Mr. Coppola
