Meet the Assistant Principals: Mr. Polubiec

As we continue to learn about the talented staff of PS4, the editors of The Duke Ellington Express wanted to highlight the leadership of our wonderful school by sharing a few pieces of information about our Assistant Principals. We'll start with Mr. Polubiec!

Did you know that Mr. Polubiec's first name is Jacek (pronounced ya-sek) and that he was born in Poland? He began his studies at the Institute of Archeology in Warsaw, Poland, and later pursued his passion for music by graduating from Queens College with a degree in Jazz Performance. He began his career in education, here at PS4, as a music teacher! After graduating from the Principals Institute at Bank Street College, Mr. Polubiec accepted the position as an Assistant Principal at our school; a position he's held for 7 years. Now, he attends Fordham University. He is the proud father of two girls, ages 16 and 21. So, what does he like to do for fun, you ask. "When I'm not working or studying", says Mr. Polubiec, "I enjoy windsurfing, fishing, photography, cooking, and salsa dancing". Click here, to check out his digital footprint!
