One of the most exciting things about a new school year is new faces. This year, one of the new faces at South Seneca Central School District is Colleen Kenney, who was hired over the summer to be the district’s new Middle School/High School Associate Principal and Athletic Director.

We recently sat down with Colleen to learn a little bit more about her, and let her introduce herself to the Falcon community. You can read that conversation here:
