Jessica DeDomenico was born in Washington, D.C. and she grew up in Arlington, Virginia.  She attended Yorktown High School, and the University of Virginia, where she received a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. She moved to the “big city,” to attend Teachers College, Columbia University, where she received a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology. Mrs. DeDomenico worked at The Children’s Advocacy Center of Manhattan for four years.  During her time there, Mrs. D worked with abused children and she spent time in New York City classrooms speaking to teenagers about healthy relationships.  Jessica was the 9^th grade counselor at Rye High School for one year and she has been a counselor at MHS since 2003.

Mrs. D, her husband Craig, and their yellow lab, Morgan, recently moved from the City to the suburbs.  Although she misses the buzz of the City, Mrs. D is keeping busy with projects in her new home.  She enjoys exercising and cooking in her spare time.  Since a young age, Mrs. D has been fascinated by Art History.  After spending years bopping in and out of museums in Washington, D.C., and studying Art History in college, she now loves to see all the latest art exhibits in New York City.

Mrs. D hopes to serve as a listening ear and an advocate to her students.  Her door is always open to students who have problems big or small.  She loves every opportunity to get to know all of her students and she enjoys when they stop by just to say “hi.”  Mrs. D is known for having quite the stash of candy in her office!
