A positive experience as a student at St. Pius X School in Loudonville
led Jennifer Chatain to her new job as principal of St. Helen’s School
in Niskayuna.
“I went to Catholic school,” she explained. “My experience at St. Pius
School was positive. I believe in Catholic education.”
Ms. Chatain started her new job as principal in May. She is the first
lay principal of the school. She replaces Sister Anne Marie Glenn,
PBVM, who was out on medical leave and is retiring this month.
Previously, Ms. Chatain was assistant principal at the Albany Prep Charter School.
She noted that the charter school is located in the former St. James
School building in Albany. She has taught in public schools in Albany
and Troy, and in North Carolina. The mother of a two-year-old, she also
enjoys running. More
