School Board picks Kwame Stephens unanimously
Feb. 10, 2009 · 10:29 a.m.
The Ypsilanti Board of Education unanimously approved the hiring of new high school assistant principal Kwame Stephens Monday night.
Stephens has served as interim assistant principal at YHS since last summer, after the retirement of two other assistant principals.
The assistant principal interviewing committee met with Stephens on Jan. 22, resulting in unanimous support for his candidacy. The committee consists of two central office administrators, two principals, one teacher and one parent.
John Fulton, YPS executive director of human resources and member of the committee, spoke highly of Stephens.
“The high school administration, staff and parents have been very happy with [Stephens’] performance,” Fulton wrote in a memo to Superintendent James Hawkins.
Before his employment with Ypsilanti public schools, Stephens served in several positions in the Pontiac school district, including teacher, assistant athletic director and basketball coach.
Stephens’ salary will be $80,073 per year. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Florida A&M University in 1994 and his Master’s degree from Central Michigan University in 2003.
