Clifton-Fine principal wins state honor

Posted

STAR LAKE -- Susan Shene, Clifton-Fine Central School principal, is the 2011 School Administrators Association of New York State K-12 Building Principal Award winner.

Shene is an educator with 24 years’ experience. She has been an administrator for six years, three years as principal.

In November 2010, Clifton-Fine Elementary School was awarded the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School Award based upon improved assessment scores. The school is the only one in St. Lawrence County to ever receive the award and one of only 19 schools in New York State to receive this honor.

In his nomination of Shene, former superintendent Dr. Paul Alioto said that Shene “is the most effective educational leader with whom I've had the privilege of serving. Despite our local community challenges of poverty and cultural and geographic isolation, Mrs. Shene has led our staff to help students achieve their highest potential resulting in our NYSED nomination for a National Blue Ribbon in 2010."

She will receive her award May 6 at the annual SAANYS meeting outside of Albany
