My students attend a Title 1 college-preparatory high school in New York City and 100% of them qualify for a free or reduced lunch. The main mission of our school is to equip all of our students with the skills and tools they will need to become successful in college and in life. While many of our kids come to us reading far below grade level, the teachers at our school hold high expectations for each child and are passionate about helping each of them reach their full potential as learners and leaders. We have watched with pride as many of our students have gone on to become the first in their families to graduate from high school and attend college, and it is the love and compassion of a dedicated staff and the generosity of caring donors that helps get them there each June!
