I am a resident of Smyrna, Delaware, and really enjoy my quiet drive into work each day. I live there with my husband, Brian, and a very busy toddler, Santino. Our family enjoys travelling, going to parks, visiting family and friends, and just enjoying life. After working in urban areas, for the last 15 years, I am excited to work in a more rural environement, and defineitly love how the school is able to  immerse itself into the community. I hope that I am equally able to immerse myself, into the community, and hope to make significant contributions. Please know that my door is always open, and if you should ever have any questions, I am available. 

This is 3rd year in Queen Anne's County Public Schools (I was previously at MES). I look forward to working with all of the students, parents, guardians, and community members, that make CMS great. Please make sure to check out my website, as often as possible. Information will be added when it comes available, and there are several resources already available on this page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time via email or phone - deon.passalaqua@qacps.org or 410-758-0883 x 202.
