​New Ridgeway School Assistant Principal Named

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Gabriel Robles was named assistant principal at Ridgeway School by the White Plains Board of Education at its Jan. 9 meeting.

He replaces Dr. Kimberly Crawford who was named principal of the school in November.

Robles is a White Plains High School graduate and has a bachelor’s degree from Iona College, a master’s degree in teaching from Manhattanville College. He is currently enrolled in the master’s degree in education program at Hunter College (CUNY).

He has been with the district since 2014, when he began as a teaching assistant. He is currently an elementary teacher at Mamaroneck Avenue School and an administrative intern.

Robles is also the head coach of the Girls’ Varsity Lacrosse Team.

“We are proud of Mr. Robles, who has gone through the school system — from student to teacher and now to administrator,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph L. Ricca said. “It’s a great reflection on the community.”

Robles said he was grateful for the opportunity and looks forward to working with Crawford.
