                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Mr. DONOVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Staten Island 
resident John Boyle's endless commitment as an educator serving the 
people of New York.
   John is a native Staten Islander, and has dedicated his life to 
helping others. Upon his graduation from St. John's University, he 
immediately went to work at Elias Bernstein Intermediate School. After 
six years teaching, he was promoted in 2005 to Assistant Principal at 
Totten Intermediate School 34 and in 2011, he became the school's 
Principal. As the head of I.S. 34, John spearheaded a renaissance in 
the school's approach to educating the youth of the 21st century, which 
allowed Totten to enter the upper echelon of schools in New York City. 
A lifelong learner dedicated to his profession and a role model for our 
youth, John made the time to continue his own studies while serving as 
Assistant Principal, earning his first Masters in Secondary Education 
from the College of Staten Island in 2003 and his second Masters in 
Educational Administration from Touro College in 2005.
   Based upon his demonstrated excellence, John was nominated by his 
peers to the Council of Supervisors and Administrators Executive Board 
where he serves as an advisor to the Executive Vice President. In 2013, 
John was asked by Chancellor Farina to be one of only 18 school leaders 
from across New York City to be a part of her Learning Partners Pilot 
Program. Last year, he was designated a Model Principal by the 
Chancellor for his work as a host principal in the Learning Partners 
Program. In June of 2015, John was chosen along with seven other New 
York City principals to expand the work of the Chancellor's Learning 
Partners Program into the Learning Partners Plus Program for which was 
named a ``Master Principal.''
   Mr. Speaker, John Boyle's dedication to serving and educating our 
youth epitomizes the highest qualities we seek in our educators and 
community role models. I thank him for all of his great work and I am 
proud to honor this great man who has consistently put others before 
himself.
