Boston High School Headmaster Michael Rubin was recently honored by
Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) for his years of
dedicated work with students across Boston.
Rubin,
of Mattapan, has been headmaster at East Boston High for the past five
years, but has spent nearly 30 years at the school as a teacher,
administrator and athletic coach. Colleagues praise his ability to
connect with students and establish relationships based on trust and
respect.
“We’re very thankful to have Mike Rubin as the leader at East Boston
High School,” said Boston Public Schools Superintendent Carol R.
Johnson. “His deep belief that all students can achieve and his
dedication to ensuring every student is supported to succeed are
hallmarks of a great headmaster.”
A native of Memphis, Tenn., Rubin was educated at boarding school in
Connecticut, one of only 10 African American students in a school of
500, before attending Tufts University for a degree in education and
the University of Massachusetts-Boston for a master’s degree in
educational administration.
During his career, Rubin has served as a mentor to new principals and
as a motivational speaker on youth issues, and has received numerous
accolades for his work with students, both in the classroom and on the
athletic field.
“I am humbled to receive this recognition,” said Rubin. “Every day
provides a new opportunity to positively impact the lives of students.
It is because of the dedicated staff of East Boston High School, as
well as my fellow principals and headmasters and their staffs, that we
are making progress and helping students graduate from the Boston
Public Schools ready to become the leaders of tomorrow.”
