Athena Award Finalist
SV Superintendent of Schools named Greater Pittsburgh ATHENA Awards Finalist
Seneca Valley Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tracy Vitale was one of just eight women selected as a finalist for the 2016 ATHENA Awards Program of Greater Pittsburgh.
She was among the many nominees recognized for their professional excellence, contributions to the community and mentorship of other women at the annual ATHENA Awards luncheon on Sept. 26. The awards were presented by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development at the Westin Convention Center Hotel.
“I was shocked when I heard that I was a finalist for the Athena Pittsburgh Award,” said Dr. Vitale. “I was very honored and quite humbled by both the nomination and the announcement. I have had wonderful mentors and strong female leaders in my life as examples to inspire me. I have always enjoyed mentoring others; I suspect that is the teacher in me.”
Ms. Lauri Pendred, Evans City Elementary Principal, believes Dr. Vitale’s success comes from building a strong administrative team, with clear expectations, direction and vision all focused on personal growth and development. “She helps others reach their full leadership potential through her modeling of strong and effective service leadership in a transparent manner to community, staff, board, and her administrative team,” said Ms. Pendred.
