In 31 years of being an educator, a coach or both, Seneca
High School health and physical education teacher Francine
Siedlecki has been honored
with many awards.
The most recent recognition, though, may be the most
special.
The school chose Siedlecki
as its teacher of the year for
the 2015-16 school year.
"Hands down being awarded
the teacher of the year by my
fellow co-workers makes my
commitment to education that
much more rewarding. This
award is really not about me
but rather about all the students that I have been blessed
to teach and been able to offer
an appreciation for education,
our great school system and
culture, opportunity, advancement and success," Siedlecki
said.

For McCloskey, managing the
large group of students was a
challenge.
It can be tough, she said, noting an increase of students from
years past. Its hard to keep them
focused sometimes.
McCloskey allowed the students to take the reins, acknowledging she lends them guidance
throughout the process.
They cant learn unless they
make mistakes, which they do,
McCloskey said.

Be social.
ment was made at a faculty meeting after school, but not for
Siedlecki. The school held an academic pep rally as part of the One
Book, One School program on the
Monday before holiday break
began. Nearing the conclusion of
the pep rally, Siedlecki was speaking with another teacher and did
not even hear that her name had
been called.
It was a flooring experience, I
was frozen. I saw Bradley Bauer
(director of athletics) pointing at
me telling me that it was me. It
was certainly a surprise,
Siedlecki said. The students
were all cheering and were very
excited. It was a great experi-
ence.
After substituting at area
schools in the early 1980s, Siedlecki took a temporary maternity
leave position in 1984 at Shawnee
High School where she taught
freshman and sophomore physical education along with driver's
education. Shawnee began to
grow that fall and needed to hire
additional staff, leading to
Siedlecki being offered a full-time
health and physical education position. She continued instructing
and coaching there for the next 19
years, teaching mostly sophomore physical education and driver's
education.
While
at
Shawnee, Siedlecki took over the
head tennis coach position in 1986
and the head track coach position
in 1988. She continued as the head
coach in both sports until she left
for Seneca in 2003. Both teams ex-
