About

Our motto is 'Purpose, Preparation, Pride.' We are a school that values community, and strong relationships to ensure academic success. Because of our highly structured four-year advisory system, we help students develop individual and social responsibility by setting the highest personal and academic standards. Our course selection is rigorous and is college preparatory. Our students acquire a set of values and a sense of kinship that allows them to reach ambitious goals. We develop rich, caring, and warm relationships with our students through our bustling sports and after-school programs. Our students are welcomed and valued members of our school community; their voices are heard and they are at the center of everything we do.

Art
As a Principal Arts Fellow I feel I was exposed and pushed to increase arts offerings. We partnered with Thrive Collective for our first ever mural project and I used a former student teacher in visual arts as a full time sub in spring and through her I was able to offer additional arts classes. We also continued our partnership with Studio Museum in Harlem for a print making residency. We offer two different music related elective classes - History of Hip Hop and Music Appreciation. We also offer instrumentation in guitar and piano. We used a CASA grant to partner with Young Audiences of NY to offer photography club and sculpture after school. For a small school with only one full time arts teacher, we offer a lot of different arts options.
