Henry D. McNair was born in Newark, New Jersey with his formalized education in the Irvington Public Schools system. Styling himself a scholar and an activist from an early age he was a founding member of the Positive Youth Today program in 1988. Subsequent to a high school career full of activities and accolades he vowed to make an impact upon those in communities like the one in which he was reared. Believing that education is the key to future success he furthered his learning by attaining a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science from Stockton University in Pomona, New Jersey in 1995. Subsequently, he continued to empower himself and help others by garnering a Masters’ of Arts in Education from Saint Peter’s University. Following a brief career with the Juvenile Justice Commission he pursued his passion of helping others by taking a position as an elementary school teacher in Newark.

Teaching gave him unique insight into how one enthusiastic person, thoroughly immersed in a mission of bettering the station of others, can make a dramatic impact upon the lives of young people. After six years of teaching, mentoring and guiding, Henry was promoted to the position of Department Chairperson in the content area of English. There his focus changed from one of teacher and mentor to one of leadership and coach. It was over the course of the next six years that Henry perfected his abilities in teacher coaching, peer observations, capacity building and brand promotion. In 2008 he was again promoted, this time to the position of Vice Principal in charge of professional development, discipline and student activities. In this capacity he broadened the scope of his influence by analyzing how societal factors directly impacts student achievement in all facets of life. It was here that he began to focus on community involvement by putting forth a call to action for service providers, social agencies, local clergy and non-profit organizations to make an investment of time, energy and resources. This network of community-based services would serve as a foundational template for later in his career.

In August of 2010 Henry was appointed to the Principalship of a small magnetic high school serving grades 7 through 12. During this stage he was able to transform the school culture for both students and staff from a laissez-faire attitude to one of high expectations and critical thinking. The hard work of his staff and students culminated in the school being ranked the 49th high school in the state of New Jersey by New Jersey Patch for 2012. The summer of 2013 saw Henry embark on a new chapter in leadership by becoming Principal of an alternative high school for at-risk students in which he took on the task of totally revamping the instructional schedule by facilitating a change from trimesters to semesters. In essence, Henry believes that you “do not judge leaders by their personal successes, but by the successes of those they impact.” With this mantra in mind, he contacted a myriad of resource providers for an underserved student population. He used his professional and personal acumen to increase community collaboration, raise social awareness and inspire his young charges to meet high expectations. Henry retired from education in 2022, since his retirement he has founded a nonprofit organization entitled Uplifting Life with a focus on assisting disenfranchised citizens.
