Making time for networking and socializing at the Summer Professional Development Institute.

The Charles School at Ohio Dominican University came to play at the Summer Professional Development Institute, presenting, participating, and coming together as a team to reflect on this school year and get ready for the next.

Thank you to these students from Middle College High School at LaGuardia Community College for teaching the teachers a thing or two about student voice at this summer's Professional Development Institute.

Thank you to Superintendent of Peekskill Public Schools, Dr. David Mauricio, for this poignant reminder as we wrap up the 2024 Summer Professional Development Institute.

MCHS also represented this afternoon with another workshop at the MCNC Teacher Conference in Jersey City. Along with Mike B. from our Guidance staff, students from our Peer Counseling and Mediation Program discussed their work this year. The work Mike B. And Mike C. have done with this program has been amazing. Great job everyone! CIOB Citywide Middle College National Consortium

We always love hearing from former students. Our Salutatorian from the Class of 2020 Nina Therese Allera sent us an email to let us know about graduation from Hunter College this week. However, even more amazing…she was one of 16 Valedictorians in the Class of 2023, while also graduating a year early. She stated it was MCHS, our Early College Program and guidance from our College Advisor Melissa who made this possible. We are so proud and thrilled for Nina and all former Panthers receiving their degree!
