Mary Alice Price, the former superintendent of the Pittsford Central School District, will be inducted into the New York State Senate’s “Women of Distinction” by Senator Ted O’Brien Tuesday night.

"I am honored to welcome Ms. Price to Albany and recognize her for a remarkable career in education,” Senator O’Brien said.  “Her leadership and dedication to providing our children with a welcoming, nurturing learning environment serve have made our community a better place.  She is truly deserving of this award, and it is a privilege to name her one of the Senate’s 'Women of Distinction.'”

Senator O’Brien says this program honors women who have made significant contributions in fields including business, education and community leadership, or who have overcome significant adversity.
