Welcome to Ogdensburg Free Academy,

My experiences as a former K-12 OCSD student, graduate, teacher, OFA Secondary Principal, BOCES CTE Principal, and CTE Culinary Arts Instructor at BOCES have given me a thorough education. These roles have also allowed me to work with students and administrators from all 18 school districts in St. Lawrence County.

As a lifelong resident of Ogdensburg and a parent of an OCSD graduate and two current OFA high school students, I have a unique perspective and understanding of the school and community. As the OFA Grade 7-8 Principal, I enjoy working with students, parents, faculty, and staff to help our students achieve their academic and extracurricular aspirations.

Our goal in grades 7-8 is to prepare our students for a successful transition to grades 9-12 in a positive and supportive school climate. Working as a team, the faculty and staff strive to create a safe, rigorous, learning environment for all students to succeed. The strong extracurricular programs at OFA support students and help them develop respect for themselves and others.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at sputman@ogdensburgk12.org or you may reach me by telephone at (315) 393-0900 ext. 31907.
