At its January 25 meeting, the Hilton Board of Education appointed Kristy Shafer to the position of Director of Technology.
Before beginning her new position in Hilton on February 28, Shafer served as a pre-K-12 instructional coach in the Wayland-Cohocton Central School District where she also worked as a STEM coach/teacher for three years. Her earlier experience includes serving as principal of an early college high school at Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery BOCES and as a technology education teacher in Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville Central Schools.
Shafer’s education includes a bachelor’s degree in Technology Education from SUNY Oswego, a master’s in Technology Education from Ball State University, a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Building Leadership from SUNY Plattsburgh, and a Graduate Certificate in School District Leadership, also from SUNY Plattsburgh.
“From the start of the interview process, I have received a very warm welcome and am looking forward to working collaboratively to help the district continue its growth,” said Shafer. “I am thankful to the Board of Education, interview committees, and Dr. (Casey) Kosiorek for the rigorous and thorough, yet friendly, interview process and the opportunity to join the Hilton Central School District team.”
Shafer lives in Lima with her husband Robert.
