The East Greenbush Central School District is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Casey Frankoski ’13, a graduate of Columbia High School and a helicopter pilot in the National Guard.
According to reports, Casey was tragically killed when her helicopter crashed on Friday afternoon while conducting aviation operations as part of a border security mission near Rio Grande City, Texas.
This is a terrible loss for the East Greenbush CSD community. Many teachers and staff hold fond memories of Casey and several of Casey’s family members, including her mother Jill Frankoski, have worked for the school district.
We send our heartfelt condolences to the Frankoski Family and our appreciation for her service to our country.
