Greetings Families, my name is Dr. Jermaine D. Dickerson Sr. As Principal, I lead a school where student thinking is visible, meaningful, and connected to each child’s unique identity. At P.S. 170, students take ownership of their learning through intentional teaching, growth opportunities, and choice-driven activities, all within a supportive and nurturing community.

I am committed to inclusive, equity-centered leadership that highlights restorative practices, instructional excellence, and the brilliance of all our children. By working closely with teachers, staff, and families, we create a culture where every voice matters and every student is supported to thrive.

At P.S. 170, we cultivate strong school cultures, develop future leaders, and celebrate every student’s brilliance. Together, we turn learning into an inspiring and transformative experience.

Dr. Jermaine D. Dickerson Sr.
