This quarter, we've gotten some very important news.
The state has renewed our charter for five more years, ensuring that we can keep our doors open through 2021 for our students. Five years is the maximum renewal possible, and the Board of Trustees at the State University of New York (SUNY), which authorizes all charter schools here, praised our success since our original charter.
We opened our doors to the first class of 110 ninth graders in the fall of 2011. This year, we have 330 students, and 82 percent of those first ninth graders are enrolled in two-year or four-year college programs after graduating at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. Our charter renewal was also featured in the local online news outlet, DNAinfo!
Additionally, we hosted our annual career fair on March 9. We had workshops, guest speakers, and plenty of representatives showcasing potential careers. We also look forward to our annual college fair, hosted in conjunction with our partner organization The Door, in April.
