Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to announce that, following a competitive search process, Anne Marie
Armstrong has been appointed executive director of the Long Island Educational Opportunity
Center (LIEOC).
Anne Marie brings a deep and sustained commitment to the LIEOC, having served as acting
executive director since July 2024. Prior to that, she held several key leadership
and academic roles within the center, including associate executive director, associate
director for academic services, chair, and adjunct professor. Her extensive experience
also includes work as a teacher and administrator with Nassau BOCES, as well as service
as a dean and English teacher at John F. Kennedy High School.
Under Anne Marie’s leadership, the LIEOC has earned “Best of Long Island” recognition
while continuing to expand both enrollment and program offerings—clear indicators
of her strategic vision and dedication to student success.
She holds a master’s degree in secondary education from St. John’s University, a Master
of Arts in English literature from Hofstra University, and a professional diploma
in educational administration and supervision from Long Island University.
Anne Marie’s experience, leadership, and unwavering commitment position her exceptionally
well to guide the LIEOC into its next chapter. I am confident that the center will
