Rachael Rizzo

Principal

Hello!

My name is Mrs. Rachael Rizzo and I am the proud Principal of SSPP. SSPP has served the Southtowns community for over 150 years and continues to develop the potential that lies within each of our students as we prepare them for success in their future. My door is always open for questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you and your child!

My Most Memorable Classroom Moment(s)

My favorite moment as a Principal is when I get to read what the teachers say about the student of the month at each monthly assembly. Often times I have to hold back tears, and get chills reading aloud how the teacher views their student. As a parent myself, it is so special to have others see the beautiful character traits and values that each child hold within them. It gives me great joy to build those values and see children thrive here at SSPP!

My Hobbies Outside Of School

I love hanging out with my three beautiful children and husband. In the summer, that is usually playing outside, going for walks, and going to Rushford Lake or “The Cabin”. In the fall, we love to go camping with family and friends. Although winter can be ‘wild’ at times, we enjoy cheering for the Buffalo Bills and sledding!
