Hi, I’m Andrew Damato, the 9th school social worker here at SHAW! I have been working here since 2021! I have the privilege of supporting our students with behavioral and emotional needs, helping them navigate challenges so they can thrive both in and out of the classroom. I work closely with families, teachers, and staff to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and understood. 

I have a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and a background in counseling, crisis intervention, and social-emotional learning. One of my favorite parts of this work is building strong relationships with students and empowering them with the skills and resources they need to succeed.
