Our school has a State Certified Recording and Entertainment Technology CTE program, where students graduate with a CTE endorsement alongside the graduation diploma. Throughout their four years at Crotona IHS, students learn graphic designing, music production and video production, through interdisciplinary project based instruction. We partner with several organizations like Mouse Design (sponsored by the arts grant received from Councilman Oswald Feliz) and several other partners like Metabronx, Glass Files, Sony Music, EVC (funded by city council grant), Lehamn College (ELL/SPED Arts grant), Dreamyard, Beamworks, Enterprenurship, Solar One and Salvadori Center. The partners provide out of classroom and in classroom residencies where teachers weave the arts with other contents and provide authentic instruction to our students.
