Mrs. Lusardi
AP Chemistry
Dear AP Chemistry Student and Parent,
Welcome to AP Chemistry! I am excited to begin this journey with you! For those of you that do not know me, my name is Mrs. Danielle Lusardi and I will be your instructor for AP Chemistry for the 2013-2014 school year. In case you want to know a little bit about me, here's some background information. I was born and raised here on Long Island. This is my 6th year teaching, 4th year at St. Anthony's. Prior to teaching, I worked in a lab as a chemist for 2 years, but found I am much too social to work independently in a lab. I have taught Biology, Regents Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, AP Chemistry and Physics. I graduated from the University of Delaware with a double-major in Chemistry and Business Administration. I played sports my whole life, both in high school and in college, so I have mastered the juggling of academics and athletics.
