Protopresbyter Andreas Vithoulkas announces that His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros has appointed Dr. Anastasios Koularmanis, currently the Superintendent of Saint Demetrios Greek American School in Astoria, NY, as the new Director of Greek Education.

Under his administration, the Saint Demetrios School system has been recognized as not only being a top Greek-American school, but also ranked as one of the best parochial schools in NYC. As an educational leader, Dr. Koularmanis continually reconstructs school programs and curriculum to ensure the needs of each student are met in order to receive an excellent education. Students who have graduated from the High School have been accepted to some of the most prestigious universities including Yale, Columbia, Barnard, Cooper Union, Rensselaer, NYU, and Sophie Davis Medical School. Many of these students have been provided full scholarships to attend these universities.
The school has been very fortunate to have received many honors and recognition in Greece as a leading education institution abroad. Due to the schools’ prestige, visitors such as the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Prime Ministers Mitsotakis, Samaras, Tsipras, dignitaries, politicians, famous athletes, have honored the school with their presence.
