Faculty & Staff

Over the past 47 years, chuck Chiodini has "had the privilege and joy of helping young people develop and strengthen their spiritual lives." Chuck taught theology at John F. Kennedy Catholic High School from August 1976 until the school closed in 2017. During his tenure at Kennedy, he served as a classroom teacher, coach, AD, campus minister, Christian service coordinator, PA announcer, and other miscellaneous duties. Chuck says his years at Visitation Academy have given him a second chance to teach, share his faith, and be part of a kind and welcoming community, for which he is extremely grateful.

Bob Cogan is in his 22nd year of teaching math and his 17th year at Visitation Academy. Bob currently teaches AP statistics and has taught this class every year since coming to Visitation. He also teaches accelerated honors precalculus for sophomores and especially loves the trigonometry part of this class, where he focuses on real-world applications. Prior to starting his teaching career, Bob spent almost 20 years in the business world, primarily with several auto insurance companies. Bob has a civil engineering degree from Notre Dame and an MBA from the University of Virginia's Darden school.

David Colón began his tenure as Head of School at Visitation Academy in July 2018. After earning a bachelor's degree in history from American University, he obtained a master's degree in European history from Harvard University. David serves on the Board of Trustees for the Independent Schools of St. Louis and the Global Education Benchmark Group. He is participating in a fellowship for current independent and international school heads at Columbia University's Teachers College in winter 2023. It is safe to say that history and education are Mr. Colón's passions.
