The Locust Valley Central School District celebrated 11 incredible educators for achieving tenure on Oct. 15. Brianna Blake, Casey DeGori, Michelle Esposito, Nicole Kelly, Jessica Kessler, Lauren Levasseur, Charalambros Loizides, Lindsay Morgan, Richard O’Flanagan, Erica Parshley and Louis Puca were recognized by their colleagues as fantastic role models for their peers. This year’s recipients come from many different subject areas, but they all share a tireless work ethic in shaping minds, inspiring growth and creating an environment where all students feel seen and empowered.
“Tenure represents more than job security,” Dr. Turnow said. “It affirms the trust and respect you have earned through your teaching, mentorship and service.”
