A large neighborhood school in the quiet Gravesend neighborhood, David A. Boody Magnet School has long been known for its strong magnet programs especially in science and music - that attract kids not just from the neighborhood but from all over Brooklyn.

With management skills honed from 16 years in business and banking, D'Angelo rolled up his cuff-linked sleeves, tackled safety issues, and made sure the building got a physical upgrade and new technology even as he made ambitious plans for academic changes.
