WATERTOWN, NY, September 7, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sharon J. Lane, Adult Education Specialist for Jefferson-Lewis BOCES, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in all aspects of adult education.

Mrs. Lane has 32 years of experience as an educator. Since 1989, she has devoted her energies to Jefferson-Lewis BOCES and is widely credited for helping develop an education program that is one of the most advanced GED programs in the state.

She gives generously to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Feed The Children, The American Legion Auxiliary, Boys Town, Food for the Poor, Children's Miracle Network and various local charities. She looks forward to more years of teaching.

In 1997, Mrs. Lane helped to create Watertown High's unique alternative system for students who had dropped out of school over a year or more. The program grew from 20 students to around 50 and was very successful.
