A resident of Park Ridge since 2010, Christopher Amitrano matriculated from Park Ridge High School to Bergen County Technical Schools (Paramus Campus) in 2020. He is a stagehand and audio engineer apprentice within the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 59.

I am a middle school mathematics teacher in Bergen County with over 25 years of experience in K–12 public education. I hold two master’s degrees in education and have served as both a classroom teacher and educational leader, developing expertise in curriculum, instruction, and supporting students and staff.
My husband and I have lived in Park Ridge for more than 20 years, and we are proud to be raising our two teenage daughters in this community. Being a longtime resident has given me a deep appreciation for the values, strengths, and traditions of our schools.
My experiences in the classroom, in educational leadership roles, and as a former East Brook PTO Treasurer have strengthened my belief in collaboration, family partnership, and ensuring that every student has access to a high-quality education. I am committed to supporting our students, educators, and community so that Park Ridge schools continue to thrive.
