Daily News | George A. Fieo, retired longtime Philadelphia school principal, has died at 97
George A. Fieo, 97, of Glenmoore, veteran and longtime teacher, counselor, vice principal, and principal in the School District of Philadelphia, died Friday, July 7, of congestive heart failure at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City.
He was intelligent, curious, and fascinated by history. He devoured literature and poetry, so it was no surprise that he became an educator, too.“He was a lifelong learner,” said his daughter Claudia. His daughter Alyssa said: “He was truly a Renaissance man. He always connected well with people, particularly young people.”
In 1975, as social, racial, and economic issues were hotly debated in the city, Mr. Fieo sought “a better balance” of students at Vare. “Having a socially balanced school makes a better school,” he told The Inquirer. “It’s a more realistic way of being educated.”, friends said: “We loved George, loved his sense of humor, love of life, and loved arguing about education with him. He was a unique man.
Mr. Fieo and his family lived in Wynnewood at first. He had property in Glenmoore and, after building a shed, barn, and house over many years, he and his wife moved there in 1996.
