Dear Senior:
The Yonkers Public Schools believes that college is in the future of every student. With this in
mind, the District compiled a comprehensive booklet containing information about various
scholarships available to the Class of 2018.
The scholarships in this booklet are sponsored by a number of Yonkers community organizations
that 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 statewide
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 twenty-first
century society. This scholarship booklet 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

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 is 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.
