Favorite Quote: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” – John 3:30
Dr. Cicciarelli graduated from Bergan in 1983; and has been employed at PND since 2007. Her favorite days are the first day of school when the freshmen students are entering with so many opportunities ahead of them and the last day of school when the seniors leave fully prepared for college. In Dr. Cicciarelli’s words, one of the greatest values of a Catholic education is that students learn to value and defend their faith. She has grown in recognizing the impact our faculty and staff have on guiding the development of faith among our students. Outside of school, Dr. Cicciarelli loves spending time with her family, reading, and cooking. Her husband also graduated from Bergan and her five children graduated from PND. Fun fact: She opened the preschool at St. Thomas in Peoria Heights and once hit the bullseye three times in a row when playing darts!
