Ms. Hanrahan comes to us from Elmira Heights, New York where she served as Principal for Cohen Middle School for 11 years. Before her tenure as principal, she served as the Director of Special Education, a role that she continued through her principalship. Ms. Hanrahan started her career in education in the classroom as a special education teacher in 2000. She is a proud graduate of the State of New York University at Geneseo, the State University of New York University at Cortland, and the University of Phoenix where she earned degrees in elementary education, special education, advance study of school district administration, as well as an MBA.
