Mr. Monachino is a second-generation Catholic Schools of Broome County graduate. For the past two years, he has served as principal of St. James School. Before St. James Patrick was Assistant Principal at SCC for four years and also taught Social Studies and Theology for eleven years.

The current staff is dedicated to keeping the soul of the school alive by celebrating our Catholic identity. We strive to give each student a top-notch academic and spiritual education, helping them to understand and appreciate their unique gifts. Our hope is that each one will leave us with a strong understanding that their unique gifts come from the Father and are to be shared. For those with elementary-age children enrolled elsewhere, we ask that you consider the value of a Catholic education.  Please feel free to contact our school office if you need additional information. Lastly, for our current families, our goal is to keep this site up to date and pertinent to the work we do within the walls of St. James. Please let us know if you have suggestions for improving the site. God bless.
