Just two weeks before nervous freshmen were scrambling to find their first blocks, the new assistant principal was in the midst of his first day as an official Dominion staff member.

He has been working with young people since he was a kid but he professionally “taught for eleven years at Loudoun County High School as a guitar teacher and an AVID program teacher which is now at Dominion,” Signorelli said.

Since he didn’t “actually start working until August fifteenth” he was “convinced that I would be very busy at the start of the year,” Signorelli said.

The transition was not as difficult as anyone would have thought because he was already in a leadership position at Dominion as the principal during summer school.

He has two little kids, the oldest being three years old and the youngest being one-year-old, who do take up some of his time as to be expected, but he does plan on “being here on Wednesday nights for events and a lot of our home games, homecoming, and prom but I could stay her until six or seven o’clock every night,” Signorelli said.

He did know Mr. Banks and had some contact with him prior to summer school and he has “asked many questions to Dr. Brewer but also Mrs. Braxton and Mrs. Rhine” and “the leadership at the school has been really helpful,” Signorelli said.

For right now he is just here to observe. “I’m new, I have to learn about the culture of the school and get to know teachers and students and think about how we do things so that’s the goal for me because it’s a new environment for me,” Signorelli said.

He does want others to know that music was his passion, “and it still is” and aside from that he “coached the golf team at County so I’m a big golfer when I can find the time,” Signorelli said.
