Congratulations to Eun Kang, president of the River Edge Public Schools Board of Education, on receiving the Archie F. Hay Award.
The Archie F. Hay Award was presented to Mrs. Kang at the River Edge Board of Education meeting on May 22, 2024, to recognize her commitment and leadership to River Edge schools.
This award was established in the mid-1980s by the Bergen County SBA “to honor local board members who exemplify Dr. Archie Hay's leadership in education and his commitment to the children of Bergen County.” Dr. Hay, former Bergen County superintendent, was responsible for setting up the Bergen County Special Education regions and the Special Services School District. “I am honored and privileged to work with such a dedicated, supportive, and student-centered Board President,” said River Edge Business Administrator LuAnne Napolitano.
Mrs. Kang, a former elementary school teacher and mother of two River Edge School students, continues to ensure that our district best supports our students' needs. She has served on the Board since 2018 and has been president since 2021.
