Yorktown High School is a public high school in Yorktown Heights, New York, United States, that serves students in grades 9âÂÂ12. It is accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. As of 2018, the superintendent is Ron Hattar. Since 2008, the principal has been Joseph DeGennaro.
The school received local and national media attention after its principal, John F. Sullivan, was abruptly fired in February 2008. The reasons Superintendent Ralph Napolitano gave for Sullivan's dismissal seemed inadequate to many; students walked out in protest, and many parents expressed concern. Despite the opposition, the firing was upheld.
