Congratulations Mrs. Regina Granchelli!
Assistant Principal, Mrs. Regina Granchelli was inducted into the DeSales Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame last Thursday. This recognition was created to annually honor outstanding DeSales alumni, who have achieved distinction in their lives and careers after graduation. Bearing the motto "Enshrining Our Past, Ensuring Our Future," the Hall of Fame induction serves as the highest honor bestowed by DeSales Catholic School.
A graduate of the DeSales High School Class of 1972, Mrs. Granchelli has served in Catholic Education in Lockport for over 40 years both as a teacher and as an Assistant Principal. We proudly thank her for her continued dedication to the students and staff of DeSales and congratulate her on this most prestigious honor!
