Executive Directors
The Executive Directors at St. Anthony's have almost sixty years combined experience in the fields of education and psychology. Before opening The St. Anthony School, they worked and consulted in public and private schools, as well as treatment centers and hospitals.

Executive Director Tony Cinquepalmi

Long recognized as a leading authority in the treatment of ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder, and various learning disabilities, Therapist Tony Cinquepalmi co-founded St. Anthony's in 1998. Mr. Cinquepalmi is a first generation American; his father and mother moved to America from Italy in 1959.

After earning his Master's degree, Tony began his career with MHMR of Texas working with children, adolescents, and families. He saw that there was a real need for therapists in the public schools and later joined the Plano School District, working with at-risk youth.

Subsequent years were spent in private practice working individually with families and students. Mr. Cinquepalmi has been on staff at such hospitals as Twin Lakes, Willow Park, Arbor Creek, New Day, and the Baylor Hospital System. He served as a consultant for many of the private schools in the Dallas area. During these years, a unique model was shaped and developed that eventually led to the opening of The St. Anthony School.

Mr. Cinquepalmi lives in Plano and enjoys coaching soccer with his three daughters. He is an avid sports fan and follows the Cowboys faithfully. The Cinquepalmi's still have a home in Italy and spend time there whenever possible.

Executive Director David Green

Well known educator, David Green, began his career working with the MHMR system in Texas. While on staff at The Denton State School, he taught in a joint experimental program using the resources of Texas Woman's University. He was a founding teacher in the M.A.P. Program in the Richardson School District and also worked with their Talented and Gifted program.

In the early 80's, Mr. Green taught in the Adolescent program at Green Oaks Hospital. He was recruited in 1984 to help found Dallas Day Hospital, the first free-standing Day Hospital for the treatment of children and adolescents in the Dallas Area.

Mr. Green was the first Education Director at New Day of Dallas in the early 1990's. Following that, he served as Education Director for adolescent services in the Baylor Hospital System.

Mr. Green, along with therapist, Tony Cinquepalmi, designed programs for learning-different students and consulted with various public and private schools for several years. In 1998, they founded The St. Anthony School.

David's passion is travel. He organizes and leads St. Anthony's annual European trip to Italy. Mr. Green's favorite subject is Egyptology and he spends his winter vacations in Egypt every year.
