She coached five years of Junior Varsity Basketball, 1977-1979 and again 1992- 1995, and she was Head Coach for Varsity Basketball from 1979-1991.
Lee-Nieves has earned multiple championships and coach-of-the-year awards.
"As a former colleague of Joanne, I had the opportunity to interact with her on a daily basis," said Ron Innes, Burke Guidance Counselor. "Joanne was a very reliable and dedicated teacher who was well respected by her students as well as faulty and staff. Her knowledge about her chosen discipline (Physical Education) and ability to reach and connect with students made her a truly exceptional teacher. These great qualities carried over to the many sports she coached. Her teams always played the game with great discipline and pride."
Boston City Schools have many challenges, but Lee-Nieves is up for the challenge, according to Sean Ryan, the Burke Athletic Coordinator who nominated her. “JoAnne seems to overcome all obstacles each season. She has coached many sports at the Jeremiah E. Burke HS but I've had the pleasure to call her our Volleyball coach. Her ability to engage a veteran or newcomer to the sport makes her special. We evaluate a coach by how their team progresses during the year, and JoAnne's team each year plays their best toward the end of the season. This along with other great attributes make her such a pleasure to work with and witness from the sidelines. She truly provides each student-athlete with a memorable experience.”

Latin; K-12 Wellness/Exercise Science Department Coordinator; coach of multiple varsity sports; athletic director; middle school assistant principal and high school principal. In 2010 she was named Executive Director of the Connecticut Association of Schools-Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference. In August, 2018 she assumed the position of Executive Director of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
Dr. Niehoff’s work in education and athletics extends beyond the public school realm. She served for four years on the Education Committee of the United States Olympic Committee, acting as U.S. delegate to International Olympic Academies in Greece and Canada and representing the USOC at numerous national conventions, conferences and educational programs. Dr. Niehoff was co -founder and Dean of the "Passing the Torch" Academy For Youth Sport Leadership, a USOC initiative to promote leadership and the spirit of Olympism within the realm of youth sport.

What makes a role model impact a life is not the position that is held, but the —Maggie Tieman, positive influence and the way an example is set through behaviors, speech, and former team spirited action. Similar to many of you who are sitting here today, there is a player for Coach teacher or coach who fits into this role modeling category. “Coach,” as I fondly Niehoff referred to Dr. Karissa Niehoff, was mine. She was that person whom I looked up to as a standard of behavior, and a reference point to emulate. She was the person who brought about a positive change in me as I grew into a young woman and someone whom I could relate to in my struggles as well as my dreams. It was in fact those dreams that she helped me paint so vividly.
Her role modeling evolved into mentoring as I became the teacher and coach. She pushed me harder than I ever expected, challenged my assumptions, expected continuous improvement, and most importantly taught me how to think, rather than what to think. Like a scaffolding around a construction site, she provided a framework of support and steady footing to solve the complex problems of everyday life. Today, we both hold our doctoral degrees, and I hope that as my time continues I may have a similar positive impact on everything that I am blessed to be a part of.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORT DAY
National Girls and Women in Sports Day was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1986 to honor female athletic achievement and recognize the importance of sport and fitness participation for all girls and women. Girls and Women in Sport Day became a national celebration in 1987. It is a day set aside to honor all of the female athletes on all levels. The first national honoree was volleyball player and women’s equality advocate, Florence Hyman (who died of Marfan’s Syndrome in 1986 while competing in a volleyball tournament in Japan) for whom the day has become a special honor.
The Massachusetts celebration of Girls and Women in Sports Day, sponsored by New Agenda- Northeast, began in 1988. Two female athletes and a coach or athletic director from every high school in the state was invited to Boston for a day of honor and motivation. First held at the State House in the House of Representative chamber and then in the Gardner Auditorium, the event grew too large to be hosted there. A celebration was held at Boston University in 1996, and then moved to Faneuil Hall in Boston, in 1997, where it has been ever since, with the exception of 2018, when it was held at Gillette Stadium while Fanueil Hall underwent renovations. The move from the state house also strengthened the partnership between New Agenda: Northeast and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA). Currently the MIAA runs the event with support from the New Agenda-Northeast organization.

Title IX Quick Facts
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, renamed in 2002 the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act in honor of its principal author, but more commonly known simply as Title IX , is a United States law enacted on June 23, 1972.
The Law States: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance...”
Although the most prominent aspect of Title IX is its impact on high school and collegiate athletics, the original statute made no explicit mention of athletics.
Title IX is best known for creating more opportunities for women and girls to play sports. Title IX requires schools and colleges receiving federal funds to give women and girls an equal chance to play sports and to treat men and women equally when it comes to athletic scholarships and other benefits like equipment, coaching and facilities.
Since Title IX, the number of male AND female student athletes has greatly increased. The number of may college athletes has increased from 170,384 in 1972 to 208,866 in 2001; the number of female college athletes has increase from 31, 852 in 1972 to 150,916— almost a five-fold increase. The number of high school girls playing competitive sports has increased from fewer than 300,000 before Title IX to 2.78 million in 2001. This shows that women’s—and men’s—interest in sports grows with their increased opportunities to play them.
Since Title IX, the number of high school girls who participate in sports has gone from 1 in 27 to 1 in 2.5. In the same time period, the number of high school boys who participate in sports has remained at 1 in 2.
Even so, Title IX is not yet finished. In spite of the great impact Title IX has had, there is still work to be done.
