Sussex Academy hires new high school academic counselor 

Sussex Academy has announced Tony D'Antonio as its new high school academic counselor. D’Antonio has spent much of his career working in education in one capacity or another.

Over the past two years, he has been actively engaged in the college admission process through his work as an independent educational consultant with his company, CoreEd College Prep LLC. This has enabled him to maintain his professional contacts at colleges all over the country - and to stay in tune to what is happening with the ever-changing landscape of college admissions.

For the 17 years before that, he was director of college counseling at Worcester Preparatory School in Berlin, Md. From 2014 until 2018, D’Antonio served the Worcester Prep community as both assistant head of school and director of college counseling, and was director of national testing.

He has worked literally with thousands of individual students and their families to advise, assist and advocate on their behalf as they have navigated through the college admissions process.

A functional movement and fitness fanatic, D’Antonio is a dedicated student to the study of yoga and meditation, making time to practice and train daily.

In December, Sussex Academy’s Academic Counselor Debbie Fees resigned to pursue a post-secondary education position. D’Antonio was hired in January as her successor.
