For the third straight year, Canisius High School principal and executive vice president Andrea Tyrpak-Endres has been named one of Western New York’s most talented and influential women.
Tyrpak-Endres, who is entering her seventh year as principal at Canisius, was named this week to Buffalo Business First’s 2021 list of Power 200 Women.
She is No. 119 on the list, in which reporters and editors at Buffalo Business First rank “a group whose talent and influence fuel economic, social and cultural growth.”
Tyrpak-Endres, the first female principal in the 151-year history of Canisius, has been named to the list as it expanded from 125 to 150 to 200 over the past three years. Buffalo Business First compiled its first list, of 100, in 2015.
Tyrpak-Endres was hired by Canisius as a religious studies teacher in 1975 and has been at the school for all but eight years since then. She spent most of her years at Canisius as a teacher and also taught concurrently at Buffalo State for 14 years. She also served as the campus minister at Canisius. Tyrpak-Endres was the head of the religion department before becoming assistant principal, then was named acting principal in 2014-15 before being appointed to the position.
