YONKERS: The Yonkers- East Yonkers Rotary “Leadership in Education Award”, also known as the Administrator of the Year award, is presented to an administrator who personifies the spirit, dedication and accomplishments of an outstanding instructional leader.

Rotary Yonkers first partnered with the Board of Education to present this award in 1986.

And this year the #YonkersRotary Club is pleased to recognize #JadeSharp as this year’s “Leader in Education”.

“The Rotary Club of Yonkers-East Yonkers is pleased to partner with the Yonkers Board of Education in presenting the 2020 Leadership in Education Award to Jade Sharp, Principal of Yonkers Middle High School,” noted Rotary Club President, Steve Steven Simpson.

“The Rotary’s motto is ‘Service Above Self’ and, for us, the Leadership in Education Award recognizes the importance that administrative leadership plays in helping today’s students learn and become tomorrow’s community-minded leaders.”

“Yonkers is fortunate to have many talented teachers and administrators,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano.

“The Yonkers Rotary award is an opportunity for our community to publicly recognize the incredible contributions great leaders have on the academic, social and emotional development of our Yonkers Public Schools children. Congratulations to Principal Sharp.”
