 Lawrence "Larry" Ambrosino
Executive Director, SINY
Lawrence "Larry" Ambrosino, the executive director of
SINY, comes to his position following a stellar career
in public education that spanned five decades. A native
Islander, whose family roots date back to before 1900 on
Staten Island, Larry began his career in education in
1967. In 1980, at the age of 32, he was named as the
principal of Public School 57 in Clifton, thus becoming
the youngest principal in New York City at that time. In
1998, he was named as Superintendent of Schools for
Shrewsbury, New Jersey, a post which he held for ten
years.
While serving in these various capacities, his
commitment to the community of Staten Island became
apparent. He served on the boards of the Red Cross and
Community Television, was president of the Staten Island
Council of Boy Scouts, was a founder and chairman of the
Staten Island Sports Hall of Fame and is the founder and
chairman of the Patrolman Rocco Laurie Scholarship
Committee, which he established in 1972. In addition, he
has been an Explorer Post advisor, city-wide basketball
coach, CYO coach and has been a member of the Staten
Island CYO executive board. In 1995, he was awarded the
Patrick Daly Award by Guy Molinari, the Borough
President of Staten Island.
He also is a "Paul Harris Fellow" which is presented by
Rotary International for "service above self", has
received the Good Scout and Silver Beaver awards from
the Boy Scouts of America, received the Richard
Silberstein Award from the Staten Island Mental society
and was given a lifetime achievement award from the
Catholic Youth Organization.
He received a Bachelors degree from Wagner College and
his masters from Kean University. He has also studied at
the College of Staten Island and New York University.
Larry and his wife Dorothy, a retired New York City
public school principal, have three children - Lissa, Lori
and Larry and one grandson, Jack.
