March is International Women’s History Month, and it would only be proper to celebrate it by honoring the women of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. We want to showcase the wonderful women who work for our beloved Archdiocese and its Affiliated Institutions this March to celebrate their contributions and the talents they bring to our Church. This second week we present the resilient women of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese.

Athina Filippou- Katehis

Position: Associate Director at the Greek Education Department

Athina takes great pride in her 11-year tenure serving the Holy Archdiocese, initially as the Director of the District Office of Education and presently as the Assistant Director of the Department of Greek Education. In these roles, she tirelessly dedicates herself to the advancement of education, impacting the lives of countless students. Notably, she spearheads efforts to promote the Comprehensive Examination in Modern Greek, a recent achievement being its approval as a NYSED 4+1 Pathway assessment for the NYS High School Diploma. Beyond her professional achievements, Athina considers her greatest blessing to be her role as a devoted mother to three beautiful and healthy young children.

What is the role of faith in my life?

Faith has been the cornerstone of my journey as a successful full-time working mother to three cherished angels. Jesus Christ is the Alpha & the Omega of our lives.
