About Us

Welcome to P.S. 66 – The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School!
 
I’m honored to serve as the Interim Acting Principal of this incredible school community. I began my journey at P.S. 66 in 2021 as Assistant Principal and have been proud to be part of a team so deeply committed to student success. Since February 2025, I’ve had the privilege of leading the school in this new role, and I’m excited about the future we’re building together.
 
P.S. 66 is a National Blue Ribbon School in the heart of Richmond Hill, Queens, serving a diverse community of students from 3-K through fifth grade. More than just a school, we are a place where every child is known, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.
 
As an educator, I believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and joyful learning are the foundation for student growth. My philosophy centers on equity, inclusivity, and ensuring that all children receive the tools, support, and opportunities they need to thrive—both in and out of the classroom.
 
At P.S. 66, we live by the motto: Knights Rise Together – Diverse, Innovative, United. These words guide our work, our relationships, and our shared vision for a school where every child can shine.
 
I look forward to continuing the amazing work happening here while bringing fresh energy, open communication, and a deep commitment to excellence. Together with our dedicated staff, families, and community partners, we will continue to help every student grow into a confident, compassionate, and capable learner.
 
With excitement and gratitude,
 
Massiel Lanz
