The Williamson Central School District is proud to announce that Elementary School Principal Ellen Saxby has been awarded the Sister Edwardine Weaver Service to Education Supervision Award by the Genesee Valley ASCD Chapter. This distinguished honor recognizes educational leaders who exemplify excellence, vision, and a deep commitment to the field of education.

With 40 years in public education—and an astounding 37 of those years spent serving Williamson CSD—Ellen has consistently led with heart, purpose, and an unwavering belief in the power of education to transform lives. Her legacy extends far beyond the schools she has led; it lives in the students she’s inspired, the colleagues she’s mentored, and the community she’s uplifted.

Described as a leader with a commanding presence and a joyful, "dancing" spirit, Ellen’s influence has touched generations. Whether in the classroom, in leadership roles, or at the district level, her dedication to student success and professional excellence has left a lasting mark.

The Genesee Valley ASCD is a network of dedicated educators from both public and private institutions who collaborate to explore best practices and tackle the evolving challenges in education. The selection of Ellen for this year’s award is a powerful testament to her far-reaching impact and the respect she commands throughout the region.
