As we approach the end of our first decade of educating New York City students, the leaders of our school community have outlined a new Vision for the next four years that seeks to push us even further in our efforts to fulfill our Mission.

Your child will be learning of the initiatives we will undertake over the next several years to fulfill this Vision in Advisory and in their College Awareness courses.

I look forward to working with you in preparing your child for a lifetime of success.
Sincerely,
Christopher Lagares
Principal
