The resolution honors Joseph B. Goho, who was recognized as the "2025 Rhode Island Superintendent of the Year" by the Rhode Island Superintendents Association for his exemplary leadership in the North Providence School Department. Goho, who holds multiple degrees in education, began his career as an English teacher before advancing to administrative roles, including Principal of North Providence High School and ultimately Superintendent. His tenure has been marked by significant improvements in student achievement, the successful passage of $200 million in school construction bonds, and the introduction of new curricula and programs to support diverse learners.
Under Goho's leadership, the North Providence School Department has made substantial advancements, including the construction of new elementary schools and modernization of existing facilities, ensuring that all students have access to state-of-the-art learning environments. His efforts have also led to record participation and success in Advanced Placement tests. The resolution expresses the Senate's congratulations to Goho for his achievements and contributions to education in Rhode Island, and it directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to him.
