Ms. Iordanou joined the Jericho School district in 2000. She used to teach Latin, Spanish, French and Italian at Cantiague Elementary School. One of her favorite memories from Cantiague is the time a first grader proposed to her. For the past few years, she has been teaching Spanish in the high school. “I know that I’ll miss my interactions with my colleagues, but as a teacher who has gone from the High School to elementary and back to the High School, I will especially miss seeing how my students grow from kindergartners to self-assured young adults. I love it when I suddenly recognize one of them by a smile or a look even though they’ve changed so much on the outside” she said. Often seen as a mother figure at JHS, she has been mistakenly called “Mom” by multiple students, which she loves. Ms. Iordanou looks forward to traveling, “The first on my list is the Day of the Dead in Oaxaca!”
