January 2021 Dear Class of 2021: You hold in your hands access and opportunity to increase your college options and decrease your financial burden. To assist you the District compiled this resource of scholarships available to Yonkers students. Community organizations and individuals that believe in Yonkers young adults and want them to excel in college sponsor the scholarships in this booklet. The organizations will make the final determination as to award recipients, but there are countless other opportunities available to graduating seniors. Therefore, it is not only important for you to carefully review this booklet with your parents/guardians, but you should also directly confer with school counselors regarding additional scholarships accessible on a national and state basis. School counselors will also guide you through the diverse forms of financial aid assistance. The Naviance program (www.naviance.com/) is a useful tool for college and scholarship searches and, more importantly, the completion of online scholarship applications. Use your Naviance accounts to support you throughout the college process. If you do not have access to your log-on information, see your school counselor in the Guidance Office. The Yonkers Public Schools is ready to work with you and your family to achieve your career and college goals. Our schools are educating students to meet the challenges of an economically competitive, technologically advanced, culturally diverse and knowledge-based 21st century society. This book is one of many tools available to help you achieve a meaningful post-secondary education. Best wishes for your continued success. Sincerely, Dr. Edwin M. Quezada Superintendent of Schools

ADDRESS BY DR. PAUL M. MITCHELL, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS TO THE YONKERS PTA COUNCIL OCTOBER 23, 1968 AT ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL

In addition to courage and wisdom in innovation, a school district must also have a source of stability and vitality, a source which can be used as a yardstick to measure its educational progress. I believe these ideals, beliefs and traditions which are interwoven in the American Creed constitute that source. The Creed is still a core of commonly accepted working principles, not absolute and subject to different interpretations, but has enough uniformity of meaning to be used as the moral basis of social justice and as a guide to social direction. I believe this uniformity of meaning would be found in the following beliefs: A belief that all human beings are of supreme and equal moral worth; A belief that human beings should be the architects of their own destiny; A belief that the state is a creation of the people and subservient to them; A belief that human intelligence can build a better world; A belief in the rule of self-imposed written law; A belief in the rule of the majority with the protection of the minority; A belief in the rights of peaceful social change; A belief in the right of the individual to be free in all respects not harmful to the common good; A belief in the rights of the individual to expect reasonable economic security. In a time of which it is said that no man who is born today will die in the same world into which he was born, these beliefs can make it possible for a man to stand with his feet anchored in unshakable convictions; to breathe in atomic atmosphere laden with change and with portends of greater change yet to come; and to reach into the unknown. He will be able to reach with the confidence that he can mold from the chaos of value conflicts a foundation, even different from his own if need be, but one upon which his sons may stand with the confidence and understanding necessary to go forward.
