Respected district teacher takes over as ASH principal
C. Fred Engelhardt Jr., a highly regarded elementary
teacher in the City School District of Albany, is the
new principal at Albany School of
Humanities. Engelhardt took over this year for Rosalyn Wallace,
who retired after the 2011-12 school year, her 16th year
at ASH and 35th in the district.
Engelhardt (pictured at right) has been a fifth-grade teacher at Sheridan
Preparatory Academy since 2006 and served as the
school's building curriculum team leader for ELA since
2008. He recently received the district's Golden Apple
award for Sheridan Prep in recognition of his
outstanding work as a teacher.
He also has taught third
grade, and began his career in education as a technology
lab assistant at Sheridan Prep in 2004.
"As I transition into the position of principal at
Albany School of Humanities, my truest hope is that my
actions will demonstrate my commitment to the ASH
community and to its students," Engelhardt said.
"One of
my favorite quotes is from John Quincy Adams. He states
that a leader's actions should 'inspire others to dream
more, learn more, do more and become more.' I am
extremely excited to serve in a capacity where I can
participate in, contribute to and inspire such a
wonderful learning community."
Engelhardt is a graduate of Roberts Wesleyan College and
earned a master's in educational administration from the
University at Albany. He also holds an advanced graduate
certificate in school building leadership from UAlbany.
