Diocese administrator receives BOCES award
Vincent Albrecht, the principal of St. Edward the Confessor School in Syosset, part of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, was recognized in June by Nassau BOCES and the Nassau Association of School Technologists as a pioneering educator who has contributed significantly to the advancement of technology in education.
He was honored during the fifth annual NASTAR — Nassau Association of School Technologists Award Recipient — award ceremony at the Nassau BOCES Brookville Outdoor and Environmental Education Center.
Under his leadership, St. Edward was one of the first schools in the Rockville Centre Diocese to implement a one-to-one technology program, inevitably leading to the full integration of technology into the core curriculum. He is also part of the diocesan committee overseeing the implementation of the New York State Comput- er Science and Digital Fluency Standards.
“Mr. Albrecht consistently aims to provide innovative experiences in the classroom,” his nominator, Emiliy Guarnieri, director of education technology with the Rockville Centre Diocese, said. “He is always willing to try new ideas for our students and school community. He is a consummate NASTAR.”
Nassau BOCES and the Nassau Association of School Technologists service created the NASTAR awards to honor educators for their innovation, leadership and support of technology initiatives in their school districts.
Each recipient is selected based on this criterion. This year, a total of 27 Nassau County educators were acknowledged for their achievements during a ceremony conducted by Nassau BOCES, Data Privacy and Security Service Supervisor Laura Pollak and Program Specialist Barbara Deal.
