Dr. Mabrouk’s career at North Shore began in 2007 as a social studies teacher at the high school.

For the past year, I have served as an Assistant Principal at the 7-12 Secondary School at Manhasset” Some of her responsibilities included building a Master Schedule for grades 7-12, creation of the annual course catalog, student discipline and attendance for grades 7-9, preparation and setup of testing for all Regents Exams and 7-8th grade ELA and Math Exams, weekly meetings with middle school counselors and the mental health team, preparation and execution of all emergency drills including the building level Emergency Response Plan, planning and scheduling of student and parent assemblies for all 7-8th grade events, and management of the daily teacher, student, and administrative activities and concerns.
Prior, Dr. Mabrouk was a teacher at North Shore High School in the Social Studies Department teaching Grades 9-12 for fourteen years.

Dr. Mabrouk is a masterful teacher and leader who cares deeply for students, families, and educators. I cannot wait to work with her again."
To conclude Dr. Mabrouk summarized, “I believe that education should always be student-centered to best meet the needs of our children and foster their growth. As Dr. Ed Melnick always reminded us, Children are our greatest natural resource. It’s a lesson that has stayed with me and driven my decisions in the field. Nurturing this natural resource is the driver of all my decision making.”
