G-Town Talks

I am the proud high school principal in a 9-12 building, with about 500 of the greatest students on the planet. We are improving every year, with a supportive and caring climate, wonderful teachers, and a strong administrative team and Board of Education. Gowanda is in rural Western New York and includes the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation of Indians.

I am also the happily married mother of two, Bryna who is 19 years old and Tallon who is 14 years old. Bryna is studying education at SUNY Fredonia and Tallon is a lucky G-town freshman. We live in the district and because my husband of 20 years, Derek, is a major motor head, we enjoy fast boats, fast cars, and fast snowmobiles. Me? I like camping, where I can sit quietly with a book and watch the fast boat go by.
