🏀 The #YonkersPublicSchools community proudly celebrated the Yonkers Middle High School induction of former Roosevelt High School - Early College Studies principal and Class of 1984 alumnus, Mr. Edward DeChent, into the YMHS Wall of Fame. Mr. DeChent’s legacy continues to inspire generations, touching the lives of students, families, and staff alike.
Surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues, the evening was filled with pride and gratitude. From upbeat performances by YMHS’s band and cheerleaders to heartfelt tributes, every moment reflected the lasting impact Mr. DeChent has made.
The celebration ended on a perfect note, with the unveiling of his Wall of Fame portrait and one final shot on the YMHS basketball court.
This is an incredible opportunity for Yonkers residents, especially parents and caregivers, to take the first step toward their goals. From GED preparation and computer skills to culinary arts, retail sales, and medical billing and coding, there’s something for everyone.
