Anthony Esposito Principal anthony_esposito@hcpss.org
I am excited to begin my third year as principal of Swansfield Elementary and my 22nd year with HCPSS. Prior to becoming principal, I served as an assistant principal and teacher in several HCPSS schools. I'm the proud husband of Keri Esposito, also an HCPSS educator and we have four children: Dominic, Rocco, Sophia, and Bella. My children are involved in sports year-round, so you are likely to see me at local high school & youth sporting events during the week and on weekends. As a family, we enjoy living an active lifestyle and spending a ton of time outdoors. We are huge Orioles & Ravens fans. Please know that I have an open-door policy and I invite parents to come in any time you have a question or concern. I look forward to an amazing school year!

I am originally from Nashville, Tennessee and attended Morgan State University on a tennis scholarship. I joined HCPSS as a student intern in conjunction with the PDS program and then was hired at Hammond Elementary school in 2001, teaching second grade for 4 years before serving as Instructional Team Leader for that grade for 9 years and 5 years as ITL for 4th grade. I received my Master of education in Administration and Supervision from Loyola College in Maryland. I have served on several committees, mentored student interns and was the Teacher Development Liaison (TDL) for 8 years. In 2021, I was the Leadership Intern at Bollman Bridge Elementary School. My family are proud residents of Howard County and my 4 children all attend Howard County Public Schools. My passion is outreach to the community, building relationships, watching quiz shows and I am an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
