Nick Angiulo’s Celebration
June 23, 2018
Kennedy High School Auditorium
A Life Well Lived…Nick Angiulo “Mr. A"
A veteran of 48 high school graduations during his vast, 33+ year teaching career,
Mr. A is a native of Canton, Ohio;
enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in the early days of the Korean War,
serving in the 724th Air Force Band at Sacramento’s Mather Field.
After his enlistment, he earned a BM and BA from the College of the Pacific,
and later a Master’s Degree from Sacramento State University.
He joined the faculty of Sacramento High School in 1959 and taught there for a decade,
before departing to join the faculty of the “new” high school in Sacramento,
John F. Kennedy High School.
He remained there until 1984, leading the music department
and the school’s marching band to an award-winning tenure and national attention.
Upon his departure in 1984, he became a music supervisor for eight years with the SCUSD
before joining the music department faculty at California State University, Sacramento in 1993,
remaining there until 2007.
His musical leadership skills are well known throughout Northern California
and he was frequently called upon to lead, judge and officiate musical competitions
during his career, which still continued until recently.
“I was fortunate to have had great teaching years at Sacramento High School and at Sacramento State University, but the 15 years at JFK High School were the most rewarding to me.”
“I have wonderful memories during my teaching years, marched in a number of great parades with the Air Force Band and JFK Band—the 1976 Bicentennial Parade in Philadelphia was the best.”
“I never got rich from teaching but reaped great rewards by having the greatest students a teacher could ever hope to have. I’m grateful for a lifetime of memories and for a loving extended family.”
