Hello PHS! 
My name is Andrea Dinan.  My doctoral degree is from Seton Hall in Educational Leadership. 

In my position, I oversee the community service/service-learning program in which 42 student leaders and over 400 students participate. Service Learning and Community Service are real passions of mine and I am happy to help you find projects and activities !

I also coordinate the tutoring for the high school and the middle school. By mid-year we hold over 200 tutoring sessions a week.  Additionally, I am an advisor of the Gen 1, Crew Club, Interact and Peacemaking clubs.  

In the community I serve as a Princeton Rotarian and a board member of Princeton Children's Fund. These organizations ensure that our students have equal opportunity to participate in the wide variety of projects and programs held in our community.

My outside interests include Competitive rowing (crew/sculling), Crossfit and reading. I love to talk about sport and all kinds of fiction!

Stop in the Ideas Center for help, to talk or just to work quietly during the day or after school. 

I'm a certified buffalo chicken wing and chips & salsa eater. I'm currently working toward earning my degree in guacamole eating as well!  I can eat these foods at any time on any day.  Breakfast, lunch dinner, it doesn't matter.  I love my spice!

I'm the mother of two sons ages 24 and 21.  They are the LOVE of my life and by default have made me an avid Yankees and Miami Dolphins fan.  I like baseball and football, but  I think I like the team colors more than the sports themselves.

I have been married for 26 years to the man of my dreams.  I met him when I was 15 years old. He's my high school sweetheart!

I love to cook and my guilty pleasure is watching 8 episodes in a row of the Pioneer Woman on Food Network.  There's something really relaxing about watching someone cook decadent food on a ranch in the middle of no where.

I have 12 godchildren.  You might say I love kids and that makes me love my job as a counselor at PHS. I've been here for 11 years and I can't imagine working any where else.

Please come visit me!  I'd love to get to know you!
