Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School’s Dale Fornoff Receives 2026 Yale Educator Award

We are proud to congratulate Dale Fornoff, D-Y Guidance and Counseling Department Chair, on being named a recipient of the 2026 Yale Educator Award!

This prestigious recognition celebrates educators who have made an exceptional impact on their students’ growth, achievement, and future opportunities. Dale was selected from a highly competitive pool of nominees representing schools across the United States and around the world.

The Yale Educator Recognition Program honors outstanding educators who have supported, inspired, and encouraged their students to achieve at high levels. Each year, incoming Yale students are invited to nominate high school educators who have made a meaningful difference in their lives. A committee of Yale admissions officers reviews the nominations and selects the award recipients.

Dale’s recognition is a reflection of our District’s commitment to Excellence. Excellence is not simply about achievement, it is about setting high expectations, supporting students in reaching their potential, and providing them with the guidance and opportunities they need to succeed.

The program recognizes that educators play a critical role in shaping students long before they arrive on a college campus. Educators like Dale help students discover their strengths, pursue ambitious goals, and see possibilities for their futures.

Congratulations, Dale!
