Gates Chili administrators receive national, state recognition

Two Gates Chili Central School District administrators have received national and state recognition. 

Director of Communications Iva Petrosino, APR has been recognized by the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) as an emerging leader in school communications, while Director of Physical Education, Health and Athletics Dr. Patrick Irving, CMAA has been honored by the New York State Athletic Administrators Association (NYSAAA). 

On Feb. 10, NSPRA announced Petrosino as a member of its 2022-23 “35 Under 35” class. Every other year, the 35 Under 35 program recognizes school public relations professionals who are making a difference for their school districts or education-related employers.  

Petrosino has served in her role as director of communications since 2019. In that time, she has led a districtwide branding campaign, expanded budget communication efforts, and helped launch the district’s strategic plan for equity. Petrosino is also the president of the Greater Rochester Professional School Communicators (GRPSC) and is slated to begin serving as a director-at-large for the Rochester Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) this year.  

On Feb. 13, NYSAAA named Irving as the 2023 Chapter 5 Athletic Administrator of the Year. Every year, the association recognizes one administrator from each of its 11 chapters who has made an outstanding contribution to athletics over the years and who has practiced and supported the positive values of education-based athletics throughout their career.  

Dr. Irving has served in his role as director of physical education, health and athletics since 2016. In that time, he has grown the athletic program with an increase in the number of multi-sport student-athletes, expanded health education to include personal safety curriculum, and advocated for Unified Sports in Gates Chili and throughout the region. In addition, Dr. Irving currently serves as president-elect of Section V Athletics executive committee. He will take over as president in the 2024-25 school year
