Yorkville Principal Sees Efforts Rewarded 6 Years After Opening PS 151
(DNAINFO) Shaye Weaver — P.S. 151 Principal Samantha Kaplan took on the arduous task of opening a brand new school in 2009. When it opened, there were only eight staff members and 74 children enrolled.
Now, the Yorkville Community School boasts 591 students and 52 staff members and was selected this year as a “showcase school” by the Department of Education as an example for other schools to aspire to.
