Happy retirement, Ms. Madeleine Brennan! Five decades of extreme excellence at I.S. 201
Having served for half a century, Madeleine Brennan, principal of Dyker Heights Intermediate School, I.S 201, has finally given up her post.
Presumed to be well into her eighties, the longest-serving principal in the nation left her home-away-from-home while being escorted by State Senator Marty Golden and Karina Costantino, the superintendent of Community School District 20, in front of a staircase full of loving teachers and staff.
“My old legs haven’t given in,” Brennan said about her retirement to a packed school hallway, as she sang and performed the Y.M.C.A dance, all smiles.
