Mrs. Arnone and her husband of 24 years are active members of Sacred Heart Parish where they both serve as Eucharistic ministers and Mrs. Arnone is a lector. They are the parents of twins who are graduates of local Catholic high schools and now attending college. Mrs. Arnone and her family consider Catholic education a top priority. She says, "My experience in both public and parochial schools has allowed me to see first-hand the value that Catholic schools give to our society. I believe that I will be able to help St. Hilary School continue to be a beacon of faith, and to empower its students to become leaders in their faith. Your children are God’s greatest gift to you. Your choice to send them to a Catholic school is your greatest gift to them. I feel blessed to have been chosen as principal of St. Hilary School."
Mrs. Arnone holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, and a master’s degree in elementary school administration from the University of Akron.
