Saint Michael Academy Alunae Carmen Farina, Class of 1961 has been named New York City School Chancellor by Mayor Bill DiBlasio.

Incoming Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña is an old-school New Yorker, a born educator who grew up in Brooklyn before it was trendy and never left the neighborhood. The 70-year-old city schools veteran was lured out of retirement by Mayor de Blasio for the top job, receiving the high-profile appointment on Monday. The assignment caps a four-decade career as a city educator, one that she says was always inspired by her upbringing as the daughter of working-class Spanish immigrants.
