'She was everyone’s ‘School Mom,’ making sure that the Main Office was a warm and welcoming place for all who entered – students, staff, parents and visitors,' SLA's principal said of Ms. LoGiudice.
Diane LoGuidice, 67, of South Philadelphia, who helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere at Science Leadership Academy as the Philadelphia magnet school’s founding secretary, died Aug. 28 of pancreatic cancer at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Ms. LoGiudice spent a short time working at Kirkbride Elementary, in South Philadelphia, before she took a job as the secretary of a brand-new school — Science Leadership Academy, a magnet high school that opened in Center City in 2006. Ms. LoGiudice managed the busy school’s office with love and skill and sometimes treats she’d make herself and distribute to everyone who walked in. She was efficient, a caretaker, a friend, and a diligent worker who helped build a school that has earned national acclaim.
Working at SLA was a joy to Ms. LoGiudice, said her daughter, Briana Kilmartin, a 2010 alumnus of the school.As much as Ms. LoGiudice loved her job, she loved her family more. She was endlessly proud of her children, Kilmartin and Stephen Alcaro, and when her granddaughter was born four years ago, Juliette became the center of her world.
