PRESSA: A Brief History
PRESSA came into existence in August 1989 when the Educational Secretaries, Educational Aides and Maintenance and Facilities workers of the then Princeton Regional Schools, merged to form one association.
The first local president to lead was Carol Smith (PHS) from 1989 through 2001. Our next President was Martha Hannon (PHS) who was President from 2001-2009. Louise Hoffman (JW) became President in 2009-2013, followed by Eric Karch (PHS) (2013-2015), Olive Giles (PHS) (2015-2019), and again by Eric Karch (PHS) (2019-2021).
