Rob Mazzoli
Principal
I am so excited to serve the students, staff, parents and community as Principal of Tropic Isles Elementary. We have been hitting the ground running to have an amazing start of the 2019-2020 school year. I spent my childhood and early teens in in the tri-state area of Philadelphia. I moved from Cherry Hill, New Jersey to Cape Coral in the mid 1980’s. I graduated from Cape Coral High School in 1988 – Go Seahawks! After high school, I attended Edison Community College and transferred to USF in Tampa to complete my studies. I graduated with a degree in Special Education from USF and my Masters of Educational Leadership from FGCU. I started my teaching career in Lee County 25 years ago at J. Colin English Elementary. I was a 4th and 5th grade ESE-Resource teacher in an inclusion setting. After 4 years, I was the Behavior Specialist. I received my first appointment as Assistant Principal at Gulf Middle School. From there, I was an Assistant Principal at Gulf Elementary. For the last 14 years, I served as Principal at Gulf Elementary, Pine Island Elementary and Edgewood Academy. I have been honored and blessed to have worked with so many talented and exceptional educators. I have been married for almost 20 years and have 2 children, both in high school. Being at Tropic Isles Elementary really excites me. This is a beautiful school with a rich tradition of success, student achievement and quality educational services to our children. I look forward to meeting all the students and families during Open House on Friday, August 9th from 5:00PM-7:00PM. We are going to have an amazing school year!
