High School alumnus Kyle Richard was revered by the district as this year’s Humanitarian Award recipient during the district’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. The program was pre-recorded this year and aired through the district’s YouTube channel, malverneschoolslive.com.

Kyle graduated from the High School in 2015. He is a sports activist, advocate and national speaker for positive masculinity. He has been nationally recognized for his efforts in preventing violence and has aspirations to help prevent sexual, domestic and gun violence. Kyle has worked with Title IX departments, college athletic departments, high school athletic departments, sports teams, Greek life organizations, and several nonprofit organizations that focus on violence prevention.

As a former team captain for the Malverne High School football and SUNY Cortland football teams, Kyle has grown to believe in utilizing the power of sports to make positive social change. As a result, he is an honoree of the Institute for Sport & Social Justice and has received much recognition for his work, including being the recipient of the Vice President Biden Courage Award It’s On Us and the Orange Bowl Courage Award.

The district is proud of all that Kyle has accomplished and wishes him continued success in his endeavors.
